Does not work on M1 Mac.

[32Bites]

This fails to compile on an M1 Mac as it seems by default it requires it to be amd64 to build. The formula: mips64-elf-gcc.

I don't think that GCC officially supports M1/arm macs yet, though I see that homebrew has an unofficial build in its official gcc formula. I don't have an apple silicon mac to check if the mips64-elf target builds...

I'm on an M1 mac; mips-elf-binutils seems to build fine, mips64-elf-gcc seems to fail.

I also have some issues as i cannot seem to build mips64-elf-binutils I have attached the error message down below.

i had the same error as @Ibxx0403 on an M4 mac

Fix/Workaround! While I can confirm this is unfortunately broken, it is possible to use Libdragon's toolchain to compile a byte-matching rom! I used this instead of these formula, and have gotten successful builds

Building ROM: build/eu/sm64.eu.elf -> build/eu/sm64.eu.z64
Checking if ROM matches..
sm64.eu: OK

Full Instructions (Adapted from Libdragon Wiki for this usage)

• Make sure you have set a path for Libdragon in your shell config: export N64_INST=/opt/libdragon. Relaunch/Source your terminal if you have made changes.
• Clone the Libdragon repository and cd into it.
• Navigate into the tools directory and run chmod +x ./build-toolchain.sh, then ./build-toolchain.sh
• Make yourself some tea, just keep in mind it may ask for sudo password.
• Add the binaries to path from within your shell config, such as export PATH="/opt/libdragon/bin:$PATH". Remember to relaunch your terminal!
• You can now build as usual! In my case, I had to fix a common build error with this pull request's patch.
