[xiaoshengMr]

Describe your problem

hello infinitycommiter , I would like to know how to contribute to this open source database including how to set up a local development environments in mac os and local testing and i can not find it in official website, Is there a contribute tutorial here

[yingfeng]

Hi, currently, Infinity could not be compiled under mac directly. You could try it within docker, and set up the compilation environment according to this guide.

Hello I follow Build from source on Ubuntu 22.04 , happen This project requires the processor support fused multiply-add (FMA) @yingfeng

[yingfeng]

You could try to remove instructions in CMake to see whether it could be compiled and run.

We do not have mac m1/m2, as a result we could not tell whether it could work correctly.

According to a PR from third party contributor, Infinity could be compiled under arm64(linux), while we have not made sure whether it could work normally. However, having infinity work under arm does belong to our roadmap for 0.3.

[xiaoshengMr]

thanks,I tried it and it didn't work.

[xiaoshengMr]

Thank you, Yinfeng. I rebuilt it on CentOS using Docker, and it was successful
