'Illegal instruction: 4' error on macOS High Sierra

[rraallvv]

Both the compact and the fast show the same error.

Specifications of the machine?

@connebeest

System: macOS High Sierra Version 10.13.3 (17D101)
Model: MacBook Air (13-inch, Mid 2012)
Processor: 1.8 GHz Intel Core i5
Memory: 4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Graphics: Intel HD Graphics 4000 1536 MB

$ node --version
v9.8.0
$ npm --version
5.6.0

I'm guessing this CPU is too old and missing some instruction set.

[rraallvv]

@connebeest are those binaries built on a Mac? Maybe it could be something similar to this issue, where they were building the binaries on a virtual machine.

extreme --> avx512f
fast --> avx2
normal --> avx
compat --> non-avx

But the MacOS compat seems wrong, if you could send me the nimiq_node.node building in your macbook, we can send some NIMs as reward

I also have the same issue. Note that only High Sierra has this issue. My other iMac running Sierra is fine.

Yes I can confirm, it is a cpu-related problem with certain drivers installed in macs, and not all old macs have this problem, I am running config on 4 macs: one mbpro 2017, another macbook air from 2012 and they work fine in high sierra and even older os, but strangely enough mac mini 2013 and iMac 2012 dont work with the illegal error.
I am looking forward to build a specific version for them.

Hope you could build https://github.com/nimiq-network/core nimiq_node.node for mac-normal or mac-compat and send to me.

@xiaozzz
the first nimiq_node.node worked great on all the other devices, thanks :) !

@MarioRD Thanks for response, we released a mac-compat version for v1.2.0
