+# Experimental macOS build scripts
+
+This is the folder for experimental macOS build support on Apple Silicon (we do not plan to support x86_64 macOS).
+
+These scripts are not guaranteed to work and are not actively supported by the maintainer or other contributors. 
+If you do have any issues, please mention @IAmTheNerdNextDoor in GitHub Issues.
+
+### Dependencies
+Regardless of stdlib, you will need:
+- [Rustup](https://rustup.rs) (DO NOT install Rustup from Homebrew as you will incur conflicts. If you have Rustup installed from Homebrew, uninstall it and reinstall from the Rustup site.)
+- [aarch64-none-elf](https://developer.arm.com/downloads/-/arm-gnu-toolchain-downloads)
+- [Homebrew](https://brew.sh)
+- QEMU (`brew install qemu`)
+- dosfstools (`brew install dosfstools`)
+
+If building for the GNU library:
+- aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu (`brew tap messense/macos-cross-toolchains && brew install aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu`)
+
+If building for the Musl library:
+- Zig (`brew install zig`)
+
+We use Zig to cross-compile to Linux musl on macOS.
+
+When it comes to Rust, you need the nightly toolchain. To install it, run:
+`rustup default nightly`
+
+### Building
+You can start building the initrd programs using this script:
+`./scripts/mac-experimental/build-deps.sh`
+
+musl programs are built by default.
+
+If you want GNU program builds:
+`stdlib=gnu ./scripts/mac-experimental/build-deps.sh`
+
+After building, you can make the initrd with:
+`./scripts/mac-experimental/create-image.sh`
+
+The initrd should now be at `./moss.img`.
+
+You can then build and run moss with:
+`cargo run --release`
+
+If you get an error about `aarch64-unknown-none-softfloat` during building, you need to install the target:
+`rustup target install aarch64-unknown-none-softfloat`
+
+Have fun!
