When trying to create a DMG on macOS 10.12, I get the following error:

Last I tried on 10.11 this wasn't a problem. Thoughts?

I had the same error with perl installed via homebrew because the Mac::Memory module was missing. The default perl version provided by apple worked for me.

I'm on 10.11 and am running into the same issue.

Also, I am using the default perl version v5.24.0

[develar]

which perl?

[bayleedev]

▶ which perl
/usr/local/bin/perl

Also,

we'll try to leave out the 64-bit compilation.

My guess is that you're running a 64-bit, non-fat, perl and that there's no
real chance this will work.  If you want to try anyway, run:

    perl Makefile.PL TRY_ANYWAY=1

Exiting.

I can reproduce this error.

The workaround for me was:
brew remove perl so the default perl would be used. Though this broke my vim installation from homebrew.

@blainesch Thanks, so, " I am using the default perl " is not true — you use perl from brew.

I will fix issue soon (CET morning).

[develar]

Please try 7.12.2.

[bayleedev]

Works for me. Thank you!

Sorry, folks, I was on a plane :-) Thanks for fixing it so quick! ❤️
