Installation fails on Mac M1

The build process went further than I thought. It looks like the boot and bytecode versions of ocaml built and ran. However the process failed to build world.opt:

npm ERR! Error: Command failed: make -j9 world.opt && make install

Other than C99 warnings the critical error appears to be:

npm ERR! make[3]: *** No rule to make target `none.o', needed by `libasmrun.a'.  Stop.

It appears to be working on yacc right before the error:

I use ReScript on an M1 Mac without any issue. Let me know if I can be of any help.

Thanks! Are you using native builds (no rosetta)? Did your install build its own ocaml? My failure is when building ocaml 4.06.1+BS:

npm ERR! Configuring OCaml version 4.06.1+BS
npm ERR! Configuring for host arm-apple-darwin21.4.0 ...
npm ERR! Configuring for target arm-apple-darwin21.4.0 ...

And it failed at the final stage building the native version of the optimizing compiler (opt.opt). It appears I asked the same question over a year ago. So maybe there has not been much progress here.

As far as I know, rescript is still not compatible with M1 without Rosetta

Probably rosetta. I simply install the npm rescript package, and it doesn’t seem like it builds from source, probably comes with a binary.
