Support Apple Silicon (arm64) architecture on macOS.
It does, for some value of the vague term "support".
(In reply to Tor Lillqvist from comment #1) > It does, for some value of the vague term "support". _Not_ for some value vague term "support". But in the sense of non-vague, very clear _natively_ Non-Rosetta Apple Silicon (arm64) support.
But it *is* possible to build LibreOffice master for macOS on arm64. Has been for some months already. If you want help in building it yourself, Bugzilla is not the right place to ask for it. Come to the IRC channel. Or use the mailing list. You also filed a different bug asking somebody (TDF?) to provide arm64 or universal binaries for macOS, so presumably in this bug, "support" means something else than providing such binaries? Please explain.

Which bug number or conversation reflects that? I've not found any bug in bugzilla, which is about that, that's why I've filed this one, because I've thought, the cause, that such builds so far don't exist, because there has to be done some work, several adjustments and patches to make LO capable for beeing build for macOS arm64 architecture and in succession arm64 binaries. If it already *is* capable und just has to be build without any further adjustments/patches, then all right, then this bug really can be marked as resolved, as you marked it before. I can download such a build where? https://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/ to date doesn't provide one. > You also filed a different bug asking somebody (TDF?) to provide arm64 or > universal binaries for macOS, so presumably in this bug, "support" means > something else than providing such binaries? Please explain. I've splitted the bug intentionally. I hope, my explanation above clarifies that.
Why would there need to be some "conversation" visible somewhere? Contributors (either volunteer or ones employed by companies) work on what interests them. Not because somebody would tell them to (unless it is a paying customer that does it). In this case, the company I am contracted to work for was interested enough to join Apple's Universal App Quick Start Program and get one of those Developer Transition Kit machines, and I was interested enough to work (mostly in my own time, for fun) on making LibreOffice build for macOS on Apple Silicon using it. No public "conversation" or bug number was involved. And no, there is nothing to download yet. It is still not clear whether Collabora Office of LibreOffice Vanilla will be the first one in the App Store to be provided as a universal app. (As to what plans TDF might have, I have no idea.)

For just getting THIS information from you in THIS reply, filing this bug has been worthwhile. Thanks a lot, this bug can indeed be marked as RESOLVED. Thanks for clarification.
