MacOSX Arm64 support

[oxoocoffee]

Hello,

Are there any plans to release Arm64 for M1-M4 processors vs replaying on slow Rosetta emulator?

When compiling, ARM libraries (libUSB, glib...) are used, so the compiled program is an ARM program. You need to install the ARM library yourself before compiling.

I was asking I n a different way, if all of us with M* Macs have to do redundant work of building. I was just asking if this is considered for next release.

Thank you

We did not compile native ARM programs, and we will consider this requirement in the future. thank you.

Apple will end support for Intel Macs next year

@nikolay-kapustin Just tried to build the application on my rMBP M4 running Tahoe 26.0 (25A353), cmake version 4.1.1, Open Source Qt 6.9.2 (qt online installer). The application does builds with some compilation warnings which I can take a look at and do a PR if you might consider it. Also had to bump a CMakeLists.txt from minimal 2.x to 4.0.0 since I am running 4.1.1 from brew.

 cmake ..

I have it build and I can start on 26.2. But when connecting Logic Analyzer, I get an error. Will try to look into it.

Here is a prebuilt arm64 native version: https://github.com/ZiWei09/DSView/releases/tag/v1.3.2-arm64

Also submitted a PR for macOS native window support: #907

Built on macOS 15 + Qt 6.11, all dependencies bundled, no Homebrew required.
