Hello,
A native arm64 build for Mac M1 machines is now available at
https://www.utc.fr/~mottelet/scilab_for_macOS.html
The Intel build was already working on these machines but if you
experienced a relative slowness, the native build will be much faster.
However, the new hardware features of these machines are still not fully
used. The Apple Accelerate Framework which uses all Intel features is
still in its infancy on M1 architecture and I had to switch to OpenBLAS
for this particular build in order to recover the performances of the
Intel build on Intel machines. In addition, be warned that the Atoms
packages using C/C++ gateways won't work until authors update them to
include both x86_64 and arm64 libraries. Hopefully the compilation of
gateways works quite smoothly (C/C++ examples of ilib_build do work) .
So, if you have a M1 Mac and are a Scilab user please give this native
build a try and report eventual success or problems here on the mailing
list.
Best,
--
