= Mac Setup =
 
Apple machines made a transition from x64 to ARM64 with [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mac_transition_to_Apple_silicon Apple Silicon] in 2020-2024, with any Macs running on M1 Chips or later using ARM64. PMDO runs and deploys on x64 only; this normally means that PMDO entirely would not be able to run on M1+ Macs, but [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosetta_(software) Rosetta 2] translates applications meant for x64 to run on ARM64.  This works normally when attempting to play published versions of PMDO, but makes things tricky for debugging.
 
== Visual Studio Code ==
 
If your machine predates the ARM64 transition (IE, predates M1 Macs), it uses x64 architecture, and there should be no issues debugging.  The setup for Visual Studio Code should work exactly as it did for Linux.  Use the instructions there if so.  Otherwise, you have two options:
# Use x64 Installation of VS Code on your Arm64 Mac
# Use Arm64 Installation of VS code and Attach Debugger on a separately built PMDO

## Check if your dotnet installation is pointing to the x64 version.  Do this with <code>type dotnet</code> and see if it points to <code>/usr/local/share/dotnet/x64/dotnet</code>.  If not, you will need to specify the path of dotnet to point to the x64 installation of dotnet: check <code>/etc/paths.d/dotnet</code> and make sure it points to <code>/usr/local/share/dotnet/x64</code>.

=== Arm64 Install with Attach Debugger ===


Made by: Trio-#4442
There is currently no known way to change the build settings in VSCode.  If you install the Arm64 version of VS Code, you cannot build the x64 version.  Instead, you will need to build PMDO in the command line, run PMDO, and then attach the debugger from VS Code.

=== Visual Studio Code Issues ===
 
Various issues arise when attempting to use the ARM64 version of dotnet with the ARM64 version VS Code.
 
Whenever the user clicks "debug", the IDE will build PMDO using the Any CPU setting.  If the x64 dotnet is installed, this defaults to an x64 build.  But if the Arm64 dotnet is installed, the Arm64 version is built. (Note: check if this is just the responsibility of dotnet installation itself, as opposed to both it and the IDE)
 
THE ARM64 VERSION OF PMDO DOES NOT WORK.  IT IS MISSING ARM64 DEPENDENCIES FOR LUA, SKIASHARP.
 
We must avoid building the Arm64 version and only build for x64.
 
It's unknown if there is a way to configure the build step such that it uses the x64 dotnet to build PMDO under x64.  Can this be specified in <code>launchSettings.json</code>?  In <code>tasks.json</code>?

Mac Setup

Apple machines made a transition from x64 to ARM64 with Apple Silicon in 2020-2024, with any Macs running on M1 Chips or later using ARM64. PMDO runs and deploys on x64 only; this normally means that PMDO entirely would not be able to run on M1+ Macs, but Rosetta 2 translates applications meant for x64 to run on ARM64. This works normally when attempting to play published versions of PMDO, but makes things tricky for debugging.

  2. Download the .NET 8.0 SDK. You want to download the x64 (Not Arm64!) version for MacOS. Confirm that it is installed using the command dotnet --list-runtimes.
    1. Check if your dotnet installation is pointing to the x64 version. Do this with type dotnet and see if it points to /usr/local/share/dotnet/x64/dotnet. If not, you will need to specify the path of dotnet to point to the x64 installation of dotnet: check /etc/paths.d/dotnet and make sure it points to /usr/local/share/dotnet/x64.
  3. Download and install Visual Studio Code for MacOS. Specifically choose the zip for Intel Chip.
    1. If you have an existing VSCode installation under Arm64, it must be uninstalled. You should be able to do this by sending the VSCode app to the trash.
