Sorry. I found I had introduced a bug into pacman awhile ago and it wouldn't download Qt lib for mac (intel and arm). To workaround, follow these steps.
Open and edit the file pacman.ijs inside the folder system/util scroll down to around line 1692 you will see if. IFUNIX do. qt_ldd_test d1 smoutput 'If libjqt cannot be loaded, see this guide for installing the Qt library' smoutput 'https://code.jsoftware.com/wiki/Guides/Linux_Installation' return. end. change to first line of it to if. 'Linux'-:UNAME do. qt_ldd_test d1 smoutput 'If libjqt cannot be loaded, see this guide for installing the Qt library' smoutput 'https://code.jsoftware.com/wiki/Guides/Linux_Installation' return. end. run jconsole and install qt binaries eg, install 'qtide' you may need to run macos-fix.command again On Sat, Nov 20, 2021 at 4:06 PM Oliver Mooney <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi all, > > I thought I’d try installing J on a new M1-based apple laptop.
