A question about multi platform support

[justasxz]

Hi, I am developing an application, that uses Magick.Net and is supposed to work with blazor hybrid. There is one issue. On code line. OpenCL.IsEnabled = true; it fails on macos. It says that dll q8-arm64 is not found. Which I understand, because mac uses it's in house chip based on arm64 architecture. But The application should work on multiple platforms including arm64 and x64 platforms. That's why I installed q8-AnyCPU in the hopes, that it would involve all of the architectures. But it seems like it's not working. From what I read in documentation it seems AnyCPU means either x86 or x64, but not arm64. Is there any workaround so I could use the same application on mac computers and Windows computers ? Worst case scenario I will just change out the nuget before deploying to mac, but it would be nice if there is some kind of solution besides this ?

There is support for arm64 in the AnyCPU package. I have updated the installation docs to also mention arm64. I suspect there is an issue with your deployment and that is why the native code is not executed. Is the native library in your output folder?

Here is the image of an error, and yes I can't find this Magick.Native-Q8-arm64.dll in the output folder, but I would believe it would be auto generated :/ Because other dlls are there automatically like any cpu I only saw Magick.Native-Q8.arm64.items (or similarly named file). Compiling trough VS Code, well maybe it's deployment. I could probably add the file manually, where do I get only that one file :?

The Native file should be in your output folder. You can force a copy with one of the options mentioned in the cross platform docs.

Hi, sorry for late reply, after adding the line to copyNativeMacOS it worked initially, but after cleaning and rebuilding this is the error I am getting:

building for Mac Catalyst, but linking in dylib built for macOS, file 'obj/Debug/net8.0-maccatalyst/maccatalyst-arm64/nativelibraries/Contents/MonoBundle/Magick.Native-Q8-arm64.dll.dylib'

Any advice ?

It looks like you should target net8.0-macos instead of net8.0-maccatalyst?

It worked previously on macOS targeting macCatalyst it just decided one day to stop working without any real changes :/ :( And blazor hybrid (at least switching targets basically gave me hundred of errors and made project unsalvagable) only supports targeting maccatalyst. :/ I guess I am stuck thank you for your assistance, if you come up with something please let me know. Thanks in advance, I will try to somehow work around.
