Hello,

I am trying to build universal versions of few third party libraries fro my project, few of them are using configure, make files. Need to configure to build them as arm64 and X86 ones.

Any pointers on what is build triplet /target triplet for arm64?

I don't know if this will work, but try "arm-apple-darwin20".

More and more often, I am just porting these things to Xcode. Build them in verbose mode first on a platform where they work. That alone can be difficult. Save any generated config files. Then build an Xcode project to spit out the same output.

This can take up to a day, or longer for complex projects. But then you don't have to worry about it. Just start with a base distribution, copy your project files into the directory and build with xcode-build.
