Re: running GTK:: trying to compile gnu-smalltalk for Mac M1 with your script

[etienne delacroix]

I used your wonderful script to try compiling. gnu-smalltalk ( the previous
version. from the current one ) .   on my Mac air M1 laptop.    I worked
much better than my previous attempt with existing scripts,  yet.
eventually interrupted with the error:

ld: the target architecture doesn't support executable stacks

clang: *error: **linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see
invocation)*

that's beyond me....does this mean that there is no hope to compile
gnu-smalltalk for the Mac M1.  ?????
