#Rosetta

As my Apple Silicon adventures continue, I discovered another quirk today. Apparently if your DAW isn't running using Rosetta, none of the plugins that require Rosetta will be available. However I'm not sure this really applies anymore, since all of my Plugin Alliance plugins show up & I know that none of them have been ported to Apple Silicon. The page was created for 1st generation M1 processors, so perhaps at generation 5 (M5's) this no longer applies.

On #Linux, to build/package container images for various platforms/architectures, you need to either install #QEMU's qemu-user-static if it's available in your software repository, but if it's not (i.e. in the case of #RHEL distros), you could simply deploy the docker.io/multiarch/qemu-user-static container, once, and it'll sort everything out for you.

On
#macOS (#Apple Silicon), if you're building for #ARM or #x86_64, you don't really need to do anything - presumably due to Apple's #Rosetta 2 (which I guess, you also do need to install, but is likely already installed automatically if you've used your Apple Silicon Mac for some time) - for various other platforms though, how do you even build for them? I couldn't seem to find a qemu-user-static for it or an equivalent solution.
