Mac compatibility

[gg23]

Hi,
Could I run this on a mac? I realise that some of the libraries are linux specific but could substitutes be used for those?

Made good progress on Mac compatibility. I published an Apple Silicon app image that should open right up. Working on Mac (Intel) app image.

thanks for that. got it to work after manually loading some libraries`

rendered a still image but failed when i tried to export mp4

Please try release 1.12.8, there a new export studio. I also have compiled for both MacOS Apple Silicon (arm64) and Intel (x86)

1.12.2-1.12.5 were kinda trash I was having a lot of problems myself but 1.12.8 seems to be pretty clean.

If problems persist please let me know what Mac OS you are using. I have it working on Tahoe version 26.5 (25F71)
