M1 mac support

[jmarkow]

Looks like the compiled libraries are not build against arm64. After pip installing I get the following error when importing ljm

<class 'labjack.ljm.ljm.LJMError'>: Cannot load the LJM library /usr/local/lib/libLabJackM.dylib. dlopen(libLabJackM.dylib, 0x0006): tried: '/Users/jeffreymarkowitz/miniconda3/envs/labjack-test/lib/python3.10/lib-dynload/../../libLabJackM.dylib' (no such file), '/Users/jeffreymarkowitz/miniconda3/envs/labjack-test/bin/../lib/libLabJackM.dylib' (no such file), 'libLabJackM.dylib' (no such file), '/usr/local/lib/libLabJackM.dylib' (mach-o file, but is an incompatible architecture (have (x86_64), need (arm64e))), '/usr/lib/libLabJackM.dylib' (no such file), '/Users/jeffreymarkowitz/libLabJackM.dylib' (no such file)

Are there plans to update for supporting M1 macs?

For context I noticed this forum post from back in 2021...

Any progress since then?

We currently do not support M1 Mac devices natively with LJM. We hope to have this support available in the next month or two.

Hi,
Has there been any progress on this?
Thanks.

Sorry for the delayed response. We now have a beta LJM installer for ARM based macOS devices:
