Christopher Schultz, are you saying I must rebuild tcnative to run Tomcat on AArm64/Apple silicon?

Nope! You only need tcnative if you need tcnative. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, then you can ignore it. :)

Tomcat is pure-Java (okay, except for tcnative, which you evidently don't need) and therefore should run on either x86-84 Java via Rosetta 2 or aarch64 Java natively. You do not need any special distribution of Tomcat to run on native aarch64.

Give it a try and let us know if you have any issues.

I've been running the Tomcat unit tests on Apple silicon for a while now.

Generally, if there is a JRE that meets the minimum Java version requirement for a platform, then Tomcat will run.

The only missing component is tcnative.

The Tomcat team provides binary releases of tcnative for Windows platforms because compilers and toolchains are generally unavailable, and Windows environments tend to be very uniform (only x86 and x86-86 for example). We do not distribute binaries for UNIX-like systems.

The last time I tried, I was able to build tcnative on MacOS 11.7.1 (Big Sur) with only a few warnings, but that was on x86-84. I do not have an aarm86 MacOS environment to try, but I think others on the team do.

If tcnative isn't building in your environment, please let us know and we can try to help.

I'd like to run Tomcat on one of the new Apple products based on the
Apple Mac silicon ARM64 architecture.

Is a Tomcat release, preferably Tomcat 10.1, for Mac silicon likely in
the near future?

Thanks,
