Kiva build failing on Mac M2

[capn-freako]

I'm getting a Kiva build failure on my MacBook Air M2 (MacOS 12.7.1):

File: /private/var/folders/pf/9gjf96y54f55tdz0vt0wq4kh0000gn/T/pip-install-78pd22fa/enable_d6b6869f6bbd44439ebdfc9c30a63ab0/kiva/_marker_renderer.pxd
        tree = Parsing.p_module(s, pxd, full_module_name)

      Error compiling Cython file:
      ------------------------------------------------------------
      ...
      # Thanks for using Enthought open source!
      import cython
      import numpy as np
      from numpy cimport uint8_t

      cimport _marker_renderer
              ^
      ------------------------------------------------------------

      kiva/_marker_renderer.pyx:14:8: '_marker_renderer.pxd' not found

Under conda-build I'm able to get past this, by back-reving Pip to v22.
But, under pip install this trick doesn't work.

Any suggestions on how to make forward progress, or do further debugging?

The build completes successfully on the other 3 major platforms:

• Windows 10 64-bit,
• Linux 64-bit, and
• MacOS Intel.

I think the answer to this is don't use Cython 3: #1060

There should be Apple Silicon compatible wheels on PyPI, so you ought to be able to install without needing to build for the most recent releases (ie. pip install should just work without any build step)

I think they’re there for Intel Macs, but missing for M1/M2 Macs. -db

That's correct. The 6.0.0 release on PyPI does not currently supply Apple Silicon-compatible wheels, only Intel-compatible wheels.

#1070 should fix the build issues on apple silicon (see https://github.com/enthought/enable/actions/runs/15595413632/job/43924580111)

Whoot! Thank you, @itziakos !
Do you have a tentative date for the next build and release to PyPi?

[itziakos]

enable 6.1.0 is already on PyPi (including wheels for apple silicon). Let me know if you have any issues.

[capn-freako]

Ah, yes, I see it now. Thanks! :) Is there a matching v6.1.0 release of Chaco coming soon? Thanks, -db

Yes, I am working towards a new release

[capn-freako]

Awesome! Please, let me know if I can help you with any grunt work. I'm happy to pitch in. :)
