Hi everybody
I’ve developed an app for macOS with Tkinter and wanted to be able to distribute a universal2 version of it. I’m on an M1 mac, so I just build the app first for arm64 with pyinstaller just to be able to use it myself.
But as soon as I wanted to build a universal version, pyinstaller threw an error:
AssertionError: /Users/tifrueh/.pyenv/versions/3.9.7/lib/python3.9/lib-dynload/_struct.cpython-39-darwin.so is not a fat binary!
So I figured I somehow had to install a universal version of python and tried to do that with pyenv, because I already use it to organise my python installations as you can see above.
This was my attempt:
env PYTHON_CONFIGURE_OPTS="--enable-shared --enable-universalsdk=/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk --with-universal-archs=universal2" pyenv install 3.9.7
But this doesn’t seem to work. The following is the output I get:
python-build: use openssl@1.1 from homebrew

Have I missed something? What did I do wrong?
