• I followed the advice raised in Discord by @lastmjs

https://discord.com/channels/748416164832608337/956466775380336680/1249772246420033646

It kind of seems an esoteric issue with Mac that not everyone has unfortunately
An alternative is to natively compile Azle: https://demergent-labs.github.io/azle/reference_http/native_compilation.html

• The steps I took were

1. dfx start --clean --host 127.0.0.1:8000
2. rm -rf node_modules
3. npm install
4. npx azle clean 
(1~4 as per https://demergent-labs.github.io/azle/deployment.html#common-deployment-issues)
5. the steps on the page https://demergent-labs.github.io/azle/reference_http/native_compilation.html
6. update `"build": "npx azle backend` to `"build": "npx azle backend --native-compilation",` in `dfx.json`
7. AZLE_VERBOSE=true dfx deploy
(6~7 as per https://demergent-labs.github.io/azle/deployment.html#common-deployment-issues)

• Got the following error

  cargo:warning=error: unable to create target: 'No available targets are compatible with triple "wasm32-unknown-wasi"'
  cargo:warning=1 error generated.

[johnnynanjiang]

Followed below steps to fix the problem above, as per surrealdb/surrealdb.wasm#41

1. export AR=/opt/homebrew/opt/llvm/bin/llvm-ar
2. export CC=/opt/homebrew/opt/llvm/bin/clang
3. AZLE_VERBOSE=true dfx deploy

[adrian-d-hidalgo]

I'm sorry. I'm going to update this template to the latest Azle version (0.23.0). This version doesn't need Rust compilation anymore, is faster, and fixes most compilation bugs.
