Invalid host arch error on M1 Mac

[jerboy]

When I try to run the "make" command on my M1 Mac, I get the following error message: "Invalid host arch: Your host arch must be amd64 or arm64". My computer is running on an M1 chip, which is arm64-based. It seems like the Makefile is not recognizing the arm64 architecture.

I would appreciate it if you could provide support for M1 Macs in your Makefile. As more and more people switch to M1 Macs, it is becoming increasingly important to have cross-architecture support.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

I'm still on an Intel MacBook, so I'm trying to keep this compatibility without having access to a Silicon MacBook.

The lines concerned are:

libmpv-darwin-build/Makefile

Lines 31 to 37 in b396470

	ifeq ($(shell uname -m), x86_64)
	HOST_ARCH = amd64
	else ifeq ($(shell uname -m), aarch64)
	HOST_ARCH = arm64
	else
	$(error "Invalid host arch: Your host arch must be amd64 or arm64")
	endif

aarch64 is probably invalid, can you tell me which arch returns uname -m?

On arm macbooks it's arm64.

Changing line 33:

else ifeq ($(shell uname -m), aarch64)

to

else ifeq ($(shell uname -m), arm64)

seems to fix it and everything else seems to work fine afterwards

It still blocking here

If it freezes, reboot your machine. I think that after a long period of uptime, macOS has problems accessing the sdk.
