Nodejs 14.x doesn't compile on ARM OSX (M1)

[sreuter]

• Version: 14.15.1
• Platform: Darwin funkhirsch.local 20.1.0 Darwin Kernel Version 20.1.0: Sun Oct 18 15:32:00 PDT 2020; root:xnu-7195.41.8~9/RELEASE_ARM64_T8101 arm64

What steps will reproduce the bug?

1. Download latest src (14.15.1)
2. Run ./configure
3. Run make

Or alternative try nvm install 14 if you have nvm installed.

How often does it reproduce? Is there a required condition?

No condition required apart from trying this on a new ARM based Mac.

What is the expected behavior?

Compile succeeds, everybody happy.

What do you see instead?

Compile fails, everybody sad.

See #36160 . I got it to compile on M1 but a test was broken.
--- Edit
My bad didn't see you were checking out some back port branch.

As you can see in https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/master/BUILDING.md#platform-list, Apple Silicon is not supported on current release line. There are folks working on making it happen though (see nodejs/build#2474), and you may get lucky with master branch as @chadbrewbaker pointed out.

I'm closing this as there is no actionable step for now, I suggest subscribing to the other issue if you want to be kept updated.

14.x doesnt have the require code to compile on apple silicon - and likely wont as its requires V8 8.6 which is only in 15.x and master

[adchawla]

@AshCripps : With that you mean 14.x will not be supported on Apple Silicon ever. In that case we have to wait for 16.x to use in production environments.

@AshCripps : With that you mean 14.x will not be supported on Apple Silicon ever.

@adchawla Until Apple Silicon support gets backported to v14 – that would probably require a good chunk of work, but if someone wants to sent a PR, I'm sure they would be warmly welcomed.

[AshCripps]

It's unlikely as the V8 version has breaking changes, so unless people are willing to pick out the relavent bits and back port them

@adchawla you can use node 15 in production environments - every version of node is stable.
