  1. how to fix this?
    I have a clean install of mac os and when starting the emulator, I getting this:
    Termination Reason: Namespace DYLD, Code 1 Library missing
    Library not loaded: /opt/homebrew/*/QtWidgets.framework/Versions/A/QtWidgets
    Referenced from: /Applications/suyu.app/Contents/MacOS/suyu
    Reason: tried: ‘/opt/homebrew/*/QtWidgets.framework/Versions/A/QtWidgets’ (no such file), ‘/System/Volumes/Preboot/Cryptexes/OS/opt/homebrew/*/QtWidgets.framework/Versions/A/QtWidgets’ (no such file), ‘/opt/homebrew/*/QtWidgets.framework/Versions/A/QtWidgets’ (no such file)

    1. It looks like the person who compiled it forgot to compile it to run on other machines than the dev machine. It’s looking for a QT UI framework dependency which obviously isn’t there unless you’re on the dev’s own machine.

    2. I have the same problem, will it be fixed soon?
