Specific command for Mac Silicon?

Development

Hi, are the instructions on: Building - VCV Rack Manual accurate for Mac Silicons or do we need specific command to clone the Silicon version of VCV Rack and its dependencies? I am getting errors when compiling and I think the sources might be the issue here…

This is the error I get when I try to execute “make dep”

cd glew-2.1.0 && mkdir -p build
cd glew-2.1.0/build && cmake -DCMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME=Darwin -DCMAKE_OSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.9 -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="/Users/antoniograzioli/Desktop/VCV/Rack/dep" -DCMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR=lib ./cmake

I cannot believe it (and I think I have solved it) I have always worked on a “VCV” folder on my Mac Desktop and always built Rack into that folder.

I deleted everything and created a new “VCV” folder on another volume (a USB drive) and now everything works as expected.

Was it simply a permission issue? or maybe permission on the desktop have gone crazy???
