How to build SDK CLI on M1 mac

[Antonio Kamiya]

I am trying to build the SDK on an M1 MacMini 2020 adn here is the results I am getting:

xx@tvs-Mac-mini cli % make flirc_util

make[2]: *** [buildresults/Darwin_arm64/cc/flirc_util/debug/flirc_util] Error 1
make[1]: *** [debug] Error 2
make: *** [flirc_util] Error 2

I guess the Darwin_arm64 version of the library doesn't exist. I was wondering if there are any work arounds for this.

building an SDK CLI on an M1 Mac can be a bit tricky. Make sure you’ve got Homebrew set up for ARM and install all the dependencies like Xcode Command Line Tools. If things still don’t work, try running your terminal in Rosetta mode—that usually help with x86 compatibility. Always worth checking the SDK docs for macOS-specific steps too!
