Intel macOS: Bad CPU type in executable

[4goodapp]

Hello,

I’m on an Intel Mac (x86_64) and getting this error when running ferrite:

exec: Failed to execute process 'ferrite': Bad CPU type in executable

Looks like the provided binary is built for arm64 only.
file ferrite reports: Mach-O 64-bit executable arm64

Would be great to have:

• an x86_64 (Intel) build, or
• a universal binary

Thanks!

Thanks for reporting this! You're absolutely right - the current macOS build is ARM64 only.

This is being addressed in PR #2, and we're discussing the best approach:

1. Separate builds - ferrite-macos-arm64 and ferrite-macos-x86_64
2. Universal binary - Single download that works on both architectures

@n8henrie has kindly offered to help implement universal binaries using lipo, which would be the ideal solution.

Workaround for now: You can build from source on your Intel Mac:
