Sift breaks on macOS Monterey

[reafian]

Sift and macOS 12 do not get along:

user@hel Desktop % sift
fatal error: runtime: bsdthread_register error

More than happy to provide whatever is necessary to help debug and test.

Sift 0.9.0 standalone download. Brew version seems to work fine.

I got this issue as well. the sift ran into segmentation fault.

So, I've got this working and I'm commenting in case anybody wants to get sift working again too. First off, I know nothing about Go or how to properly build Go applications so there may well be a better way of doing this but it worked for me.

• Download Go from go.dev and install it (if it's not already installed)
• Download the sift-tools source code. (I just did it as a .zip because it was easier for me)
• In the sift-master folder that's just been downloaded run:

$ go mod init github.com/svent/sift-tools
$ go mod tidy
$ go build -o sift

• Copy the newly created sift binary to /usr/local/bin or wherever you want it.

It works for me and sift it now back up and running again. It would be good to have the official binaries updated but, in the meantime, this appears to work.
