HaikuOS on MacBook M5

This is a journal of running HaikuOS on Macbook M5. It should apply generally to all aarch64 platform.

Qemu

Although HaikuOS-aarch64 does work, it is not yet good enough. Therefore, I will use qemu-system-X86_64 to run the x86_64 version of HaikuOS. Even without KVM, it runs reasonally smooth and takes only 10-20% of CPU.

Machine

M5 with 24G RAM

Common tools

Ghostty: with Warmburnout theme.
Homebrew: install via .pkg install; it will ask you to run xcode-select --install which takes a few minutes.
VSCode: still the easiest way to use with kilo via extension; disable telemetry and default copilot AI (search in settings).

Homebrew

Python: installed as dependency of omlx

It is quite often to include C library in Zig project. If it is a shared library, just link it in build.zig. But if it is not, it can be included as a dependency. Here I use tiny-regex-c as an example.

First, add the c libaray as a dependency.

$ zig fetch --save=tiny_regex_c https://github.com/shahar99s/tiny-regex-c/archive/refs/heads/master.zip

It will show up in the build.zig.zon file. Then include it in build.zig

Installation with new image

Download image from uConsole github. Unzip with p7zip:

$> sudo apt-get install p7zip
$> p7zip -d uConsole_CM4_v1.3g_64bit.img.7z

Find the SD card, probably at /dev/sda. Write image with dd:
