LIPO

This lipo is designed to be compatible with macOS lipo, which is a utility for creating Universal Binary as known as Fat Binary.

This can be useful in the following scenarios:

• When using a CI/CD platform (such as GitLab) that does not provide access to macOS or macOS lipo.
• When using GitHub Actions and looking for a cost-effective solution that doesn't involve using macOS.

Distro Packages

You can try lipo from the nixpkgs by:

nix-shell --packages lipo-go
