arm64 build variant for Mac OS

[thomaslfessler]

MacOS started the transition to arm CPU's ~20 months ago and while arm CPUs can run intel based executables, it comes with a performance penalty. With that said, an arm64 build vingster would be greatly appreciated.

Vingester is based on the NDI SDK and there is no ARM64 version of the NDI SDK. Unless the NDI SDK is available for ARM64, I cannot provide a native ARM64 version of Vingester. In the meantime just use Rosetta and use the X64 version of Vingester, please.

Hello @rse, I just found this tool a few days ago and also noticed that it's an Intel build (I am on M1 Max).
I don't now about the NDI SDK, but all the NDI Tools (NDI Virtual Input and Router, etc). are now ARM64 without the need of Rosetta. The same goes for OBS Studio and other tools that use the NDI SDK.

Would that mean that now, an ARM64 version for Apple Silicone would be possible?

Best,
Chris

I was recently laid off so I have spare time. I will look around at how they implemented the amd64-based approach, and see if I can replicate :)

@rse I have confirmed that rse/grandiose#2 works on my M1 Max machine.

I've now started to upgrade rse/grandiose to use the latest NDI 6.2 and this now also has ARM64 support and it seems to work just fine also on my Apple silicon system. So, expect Vingester to support Apple silicon soon, too.
