If you want to codesign and notarize your binary from linux, you can also use rcodesign[0]! I've been using it in production for about a year, and it's been working great so far.

#52The problem with this is licensing: the macOS SDK license says that it's only to be used on an "Apple-branded computer". That said I wonder what Apple would do if this is used outside of that case...
I used a Hackintosh for a number of years and Apple could have easily shut down the entire community with enough cease and desists. In fact there were engineers that helped provide valuable information.
They don't mind what people do for personal use. Just don't try and turn it into a commercial product.

#53This is really cool! I spent the time a couple years back to build a windows sysroot, but having a macOS one was on my mind for a while. Will definitley use

Sounds like that would allow a Linux VM running on a macbook

Which is why they changed the wording from "Apple-labeled" to "Apple-branded" around the time of Snow Leopard IIRC.
How much could a branding iron cost?
This place [0] sells custom design branding irons starting at $93.

Interestingly you can use zig within your Rust build to more easily cross-compile: https://github.com/rust-cross/cargo-zigbuild I’m curious what the blockers are for rustc to cross-compile like zig does natively.
Just add another arch with rustup. Am I missing something?
I could be mistaken, but I believe that installs a completely parallel toolchain which is relatively large compared with zigs approach of having all the platforms generatable from a single toolchain.

Why is this a defense for them using the labor of non-consenting artists to generate a crappy header image? Surely they could ask an artist to volunteer their time just as they volunteered theirs?
> Surely they could ask an artist to volunteer their time just as they volunteered theirs? Unfortunately "I spent a lot of time on this thing you have no interest in or relation to" is not a very convincing argument in the FOSS world.

Neither is "I'm not going to contribute a damned thing, but nonetheless the team behind this free product needs to spend more time and/or money to make me happy."
If you don't like the logo, well... that sounds a lot like a personal problem to me.

Rustup arch only adds support for static libraries (unliked objects), and craps out as soon as you try to build a binary.
Rust did not do the legwork that zig did to bundle libc and a working linker, and Cargo is exceptionally naive in its default configuration, so it won't even find a usable cross-linker on the system, nor even try the chronically-unfinished rustc-lld integration there is.

#59I think the project can easily add Go to the list as cross compiling is built-in: GOOS=darwin GOARCH=arm64 go build -o bin/app-silicon-darwin app.go
I've been using goreleaser-cross for cross-compiling Go apps with cgo

#60great to see zig mentioned in the comments
