I want ot build the Second Life Viewer for Mac with M1 Apple Silicon chip from the source code.

The Linden Lab’s official wiki page says FMODex package archive is required.

[http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Build\_the\_Viewer\_on\_macOS](http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Build_the_Viewer_on_macOS)

The file name is like “fmodex-4.44.31.201503051234-darwin-201503051234.tar.bz2”.

I have tried to build it by myself but it was so difficult.

So, if there is a pre-built version of the library, where can I get that ?

There is no pre-built version of FMOD Ex for Apple Silicon. FMOD Ex has been deprecated for many years now.
