Apple Silicon and GMT.jl?

[srivatsabprasad]

Sorry if this has already been resolved elsewhere, but I couldn't find anything relevant on Github, Stackexchange or in the open or closed issues for GMT.jl.

I have a Macbook with Apple Silicon (Mac M1 chip). When I try to install GMT.jl via
] add GMT
the precompilation fails; it gives me the error

I uninstalled and reinstalled GMT on Conda, within Julia, via
using Conda Conda.rm("GMT") Conda.add("GMT")
yet this error persists. If I try to install and precompile GMT.jl without anything installed via Conda, it gives me the error:

I have tried removing and adding GMT outside Julia via both Homebrew and Macports, and neither addresses this issue. Clearly, Conda is installing a version of GMT that is incompatible with Apple Silicon/ARM, but how do I fix this? Is there a fix?

Hmm, I've seen something alike (but with no errors). Sometimes for some unknown reason the package installer insists in installing an old version. GMT.jl does not use Conda since version 1.0. Try to force installing the current version

] add GMT#1.12.2

I have also this recipe to make GMT.jl use a system wide installed GMT (a local build). It should work too

# The file deps/deps.jl is created by compile from the deps/build.jl
# On Windows we use a system wide GMT if it is found from path or install it from a GMT installer. It is a MSVC binary.
# On Unix the default is to use the GMT_jll artifact. However this can be changed to use a system wide GMT installation.
# To swap to a system wide GMT installation, do (in REPL):
# 1- ENV["SYSTEMWIDE_GMT"] = 1;
# 2- import Pkg; Pkg.build("GMT")
# 3- restart Julia
#
# Note the above will work up until some other reason triggers a Julia recompile, where the JLL artifacts 
# will be used again. To make the ENV["SYSTEMWIDE_GMT"] = 1 solution permanent, declare a "SYSTEMWIDE_GMT"
# environment variable permanently in your .bashrc (or whatever).
