Bob on Mac error

Questions
#1

Running Bob 1.4.4 (and other versions I’ve tried) on Mac gives errors, as below (the project is defold-input)
I’m familiar with running Bob on Windows, and I normally download bob.jar into the editor installation folder which isn’t an option on Mac, but I don’t think that’s the cause?

java -jar /Users/dri/Desktop/bob_144.jar resolve

What mac are you using, intel or arm?
We don’t yet support arm, so you need to run it from an intel terminal.

If you run arch it should report i386 or x86_64, not arm64.
You should be able to switch to x86_64 by running:

$ arch -x86_64

Thanks, that was it. It’s an M1 Mac.
I wasn’t aware I could switch architectures in the terminal.

It’s a useful trick, right??

You can also right click the Terminal app in Finder, click Get Info, and then check “Open using Rosetta”, which will do the same thing every time you open Terminal.

Frankly I have this on all the time, there are a lot of developer tools that still don’t work on native Apple Silicon. :confused:
