Switch to BinaryBuilder.jl

[ranocha]

Would you consider switching to BinaryBuilder.jl? We experienced problems with new Apple M1 devices due to the build script of FastTransforms.jl, see trixi-framework/Trixi.jl#1104 (comment)

FastTransforms.jl has FastTransforms_jll.jl with binaries for M1 Macs. The BinaryProvider route is only for developer support to allow compiling from source.

Maybe it's that the build script always gets invoked and it sees that it's using BinaryProvider for some diagnostic functions?

[sloede]

That's possible. I am not sure how the underlying mechanisms work, but if I try to run tests on an M1 Mac that have FastTransforms as a dependency, this error is invoked. Is there any way that the using is only invoked if really necessary?

[MikaelSlevinsky]

Tagging a new minor release based on this 4bbefc9. Probably will work for you, but let me know if it doesn't.

[sloede]

Thank you for looking into it. Unfortunately, it does not solve all issues. Here I tried adding FastTransforms.jl in a temporary project:

Weirdly enough, it says precompilation succeeded, but also that it didn't. Maybe the issue is, that BinaryProvider.jl is still in the dependency list in Project.toml?

This ought to do it ee31e98.

Great, thanks! I can confirm that with v0.13.9, FastTransforms.jl works on the M1. Kudos for the fast response & fix!

[ranocha]

I can only second that - thank you very much!
