I'm running a Mac Studio M1 Max on Sonoma right now. Was wondering if upgrading to Sequoia breaks SIRIL and StarNet compatibility. Any brave souls try this yet?

I don't think it does (it runs on my wife's M1 MacBook Air with the latest OS update.  However I recently purchased an M3 MacBook Air and have not been able to get Starnet and Siril to talk to each other yet, or Starnet to run at all for that matter.

Same… just got a Mac book pro and anything I try to do with starnet is permission denied… I guess the author will have to fix something to make it play nice… kinda disappointed… do the pixal insight peeps have any similar issues with Star exterminator? Not really wanting to buy that but just curious if it’s an option

Hi.. just for reference, the trick to getting starnet to run in sequoia is to install Rosetta 2

Correct me if I’m wrong but Rosetta (2,1) is not something that end users “install”. It’s built into “M” OS versions and runs automatically in the background when launching your intel apps. Rosetta 1 & 2 is for running intel based apps on Apple M silicon. If you’re running M processor versions of SIRIL and Starnet already, they do both run natively on M silicon in Sonoma and Rosetta has nothing to do with anything. If you’re updating from Sonoma to Sequoia and the M silicon versions are then broken, then the developer needs to do some work and again, Rosetta has nothing to do with it. Now if you’re trying to run Intel versions of SIRIL/StarNet on Apple silicon, then Rosetta would actually be relevant.

Siril works well on macOS sequoia with a M3.

100%. Can confirm.

 

Starnet is another story.

So sequoia does not have Rosetta 2 installed by default, apple set it up to install automatically when a programs is recognized as needing it…. I guess because starnet is a command line script it was not recognized, the specific error when clicking on it was bad cpu in executable. Soooo the work around ended up being to install Rosetta 2 manually in terminal, after that it had what it needed to run, you still had to do the fixes in terminal to make starnet executable and fix the permissions for the lib files. Soooo snyway it now works… another member wrote this morning that there is an experimental beta out there that substitutes the lib files for something that works better with apple silicon but since I got the standard version working I’ll just wait for them to finish the beta
