macOS Apple silicon build tips

[WayneKeenan]

Just a note to anyone who wants to build this on macOS on Apple Silicon.

Have Xcode installed and install at least these homebrew pre-requites (there might be more but I have a 'busy' homebrew env already)

brew install sdl2 python3

For building resid change the install location to where Apple Silicon homebrew installs lives:

./configure --enable-shared –prefix=/opt/homebrew 
# no need for sudo for make install 
# no need for ldconfig

Edit pysid/setup.py

-sdl_flags = os.popen('sdl-config --cflags').read().strip().split(' ')
-sdl_libs = os.popen('sdl-config --libs').read().strip().split(' ')
+sdl_flags = os.popen('sdl2-config --cflags').read().strip().split(' ')
+sdl_libs = os.popen('sdl2-config --libs').read().strip().split(' ')

No need for sudo when installing, i.e.

./setup.py install

hope that helps.
