OSX experimental OW binaries for Intel and ARM

[jmalak]

Now OSX build for 64-bit Intel and ARM is regularly build as other platforms.
It is only usable for cross-compilation from OSX to OW supported platform, because OW doesn't support OSX targets.
These OSX binaries are now included into CI-build snapshot in subdirectories bino64 (Intel version) and armo64 (ARM version).

This is neat. I might try doing this build on my Mac M1-based system. Is there anything I should know before making such an attempt? If the answer is "go read the Wiki," I can handle that! I guess I need to use Clang to bootstrap. What about DOSbox? Are those components just skipped?

Petr, it is standard OW build, only need configure your copy of setvars.sh to your bootstrap compiler and configure DOSBOX-X.
You need to install DOSBOX-X for Mac, because DOSBOX is deprecated. All is configured by bootstrap compiler architecture macro which setup wmake predefined architecture to __OSX__ and __OSX_X64__ or __OSX_ARM64__ macros and this control OW build. The build is enabled for OSX 64-bit architectures Intel and ARM only. OSX binaries are in rel/bino64 (for intel) or in rel/armo64 (for ARM64). it builds standard 32-bit OW full build + appropriate OSX 64-bit binaries.

Nice step forward.
Thanks.

Normally, i use the snapshot from the latest CI build,
(currently 138MB from 23.3.2024)

but the snapshot from the latest github release build
is bigger (143MB) and more recent (26.3.2024).
