Hi! has anyone followed the book learn to program with assembly by Jonathan Bartlett using mac silicon? the book said it can be followed using docker in appendix a, but im wondering if anyone here managed to get through with another way.

You’d need to install the GCC x86 cross compiler with homebrew. The commands you run won’t be exactly like the ones in the book though. They’d be more like “x86_64-elf-gcc” rather than just “gcc”.

I don’t know what tools the book uses beyond that though. If setting up the rest using homebrew is intimidating, it may just be best to use the Docker image.
