Down the rabbit hole. I’m following dependencies which have their own dependency on qt4-mac and are set to universal, I presume, because I get messages like
Error: Cannot install automoc for the archs 'arm64 x86_64' because Error: its dependency qt4-mac only supports the archs 'ppc ppc64 i386 x86_64'. — Peter West [email protected] “Truly, truly, I say to you, an hour is coming, and is now here, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live.” > On 2 Apr 2022, at 12:44 am, Ryan Schmidt <[email protected]> wrote: > > > > On Apr 1, 2022, at 09:42, Peter West wrote: > >> On 1 Apr 2022, at 11:53 pm, Ryan Schmidt wrote: >> >>> On Apr 1, 2022, at 04:32, Peter West wrote: >>> >>>> On 1 Apr 2022, at 7:22 pm, Peter West wrote: >>>>> >>>>> I just tried to install kmymoney4 on my M1 running 12.2.1.
