[Openmcl-devel] [ccl-dev] CL+SSL crashes the IDE on M1 macs

[Shannon Spires]

I've made that mistake before. The key is to always use the "-n" flag 
whenever I run ./dx86cl64 to rebuild CCL (or to build the IDE). This 
forces CCL to ignore my ccl-init file so all the stuff in it doesn't 
become part of the new image.
