Mac os native build not working about localai

[themeaningofmeaning]

Interesting, I'm getting the same error as well with multiple build attempts.

LocalAI version:
v2.5.1

Environment, CPU architecture, OS, and Version:
MBP 16 M1 PRO

I've tried using Docker to build this after cloning the repo and it shows "unable to locate package conda" even though the build instructions do specify conda as a required dependency. I also ran a variety of make prepare build attempts and it throws an error about golang not existing even though the mentioned gpt4all-bindings/golang does in fact exist and contains the necessary dependencies. Strange.

1. Docker log:

[glebnaz]

@themeaningofmeaning i have the same error with docker. Should we wait help from author?

[themeaningofmeaning]

@glebnaz @muellest - I haven't been able to figure out a solution as it appears to be an issue with the release and Apple Silicon. I haven't tried installing conda or Miniconda before doing a Docker build....that would be one thing to test, but I think we need to wait to hear from the author. I've tried every build in the book and it's not working on the M1

[muellest]

Perhaps this is an alternative to using Docker: https://localai.io/basics/build/ (not tested yet).

[gaoyifan]

The following patch allows me to compile on the Apple Silicon platform. However, the error messages I encountered during compilation are different from @glebnaz , so please take them as reference only.

@gaoyifan For me your patch doesn't help.

but thank you for your comment

[muellest]

Anything new on this topic? - Are there any identified workarounds or solutions?

@mudler , could you please confirm whether this can be recognized as a confirmed bug?

[glebnaz]

@mudler do you have time to participate to solution?

[mudler]

I don't have a Mac (yet) to double check, but the CI doesn't show the same symptoms. Actually the falcon-ggml backend is a candidate for deprecation (see: #1126 for more context).

Maybe @dave-gray101 can chime in here, I think you fixed MacOS builds lately right?

However, in any case I think you could workaround that but selectively choose what backend to build during build time, for instance to build only llama.cpp, you can run:

make GRPC_BACKENDS=backend-assets/grpc/llama-cpp build

see also: https://localai.io/basics/build/#build-only-a-single-backend

[muellest]

@dave-gray101 Can you support/help us?

I am reproducable able to build 2.7 with BUILD_TYPE=metal BUILD_GRPC_FOR_BACKEND_LLAMA=true on Mac M2 Max(12) on Sonoma with 32GB Ram. However it's a memory heavy compilation and takes a while.
I was not able to build it by linking against installed dependencies.

EDIT:

make BUILD_TYPE=metal BUILD_GRPC_FOR_BACKEND_LLAMA=true build  5209.78s user 20787.18s system 526% cpu 1:22:15.54 total

[jamu85]

I was able to compile today with tts,stablediffusion and tinydream backend. It builds but it's a bit of a mess. I made a PR for one issue but I'm not sure where to implement the remaining fixes.
