Pre-install cffi to fix macOS Python 3.15 build - #233
Merged
icemac merged 2 commits intoMay 20, 2026
Conversation
On ARM64 macOS runners, the x86_64 cross-compilation step causes setup_requires/fetch_build_eggs to build cffi from source with x86_64 flags (no pre-built 3.15 wheel exists). Python (arm64) then cannot load the x86_64 _cffi_backend.so. Pre-installing cffi via pip ensures it is available natively so setuptools does not attempt to rebuild it with cross-compilation flags.
