How to create a Qt 5 ARM/Intel universal binary for Mac #Software #Apple @dt_db

I recently released a big update for my Mac ROM SIMM Programmer software which is written using Qt for cross-platform compatibility. As part of the update I wanted to release the Mac build as a universal x86_64/arm64 binary so that M1/M2 Mac users would be able to run it natively. It doesn’t currently compile for Qt 6, although I think I can fix that in the future without too much effort. However, Qt 5.15.9 and later do support creating universal binaries out of the box, so I decided to figure out how to set it all up.
Note: you can’t use homebrew to install Qt for this because it doesn’t supply a universal build of Qt. If you’re going for an open-source build, you will need to build your own Qt instead.
