Build errors on macOS 10.15.7 on MacBook Pro 16-inch 2019

[Quantumpanda]

Okay, so this may not be the right place for this, but I don't know where else to report this.

For a long time, I've been using the long-out-of-date dupeguru PE 2.10.0 to help manage my images on my older MacBook Pro (17-inch, 2010) under Mac OS X 10.12. I upgraded to a 2019 16-inch MacBook Pro last year, and it is currently running macOS 10.15.7.

I just this week attempted to use the old dupeguru PE on my image collection for the first time on this MBP, and it crashed while I was going through its results. I figured that part of the problem might be that it's a really old version, so I tracked down the information for the current versions.

I first tried the pre-built version 4.0.3, but that crashed while scanning. Since you're not taking bug reports for 4.0.3 anymore, I decided to try building the current version (4.1.0). As a developer, I'm a rank novice, still learning the basics, but I know enough to know how to follow build instructions.

I tried both the Cocoa build and the Qt build, and both failed with the same set of errors. The primary error, repeated many times, is "architecture not supported".

As I said, I'm a novice here. While I know conceptually what this error means, I have no idea how to address it, or even whether it's something I can address. The 2019 MacBook Pro is an Intel-based system, not one of the M1-based models. It runs only 64-bit apps, but that doesn't appear to be an issue. And while macOS 11 (Big Sur) is the most current version, 10.15.7 (Catalina) is the most recent previous version, and should not pose an issue.

I have successfully built packages from fink on this system, so I know Xcode itself and the Command Line Tools should be functional. xcodebuild --version returns the version as Xcode 12.4, build 12D4e. My Python3 install is version 3.8.2, and my Python 2 is version 2.7.16.

Build output from Qt build attempt as follows. Output from Cocoa build attempt is functionally the same.

For some reason the python module is trying to build for -arch arm64 -arch x86_64, since the arm architecture is not supported it is throwing these. It seems it might have to do with the flags the apple built the provided python in, you may be able to get around it by exporting an environment variable before building export ARCHFLAGS="-arch x86_64" found this information here: giampaolo/psutil#1832.

You may be interested in the Packaging of 4.1.1 for macOS which has some "beta" packages to get feedback on: #761. The Qt version only works on m1 right now due to figuring out how to get some dependencies built universal2. The cocoa version should run on intel platforms.

Packaging is now working for macOS. If there are still issues I would recommend my suggestion in the previous comment. Closing as this seems to be a macOS / python issue and not able to reproduce it locally.
