Issue on Apple Silicon

[tknopp]

Hi, I just tried NFFT3 on Apple Silicon and it seems to be not working. When I run the test suite on a fresh install I get the error message below. My Julia ist still the x86 one running in Rosetta2, i.e. it should actually work. I tried also FINUFFT, which runs in the same setting and had no issues.

Hi,
this is an issue because our current builds use the AVX2 instruction set, which is not supported by Rosetta2.
If you want, you could try the precompiled binaries of the new release candidate
nfft-3.5.3-rc2-julia-macos_x86_64-openmp-core2.zip
You would need to replace the libnfftjulia.dylib file from the NFFT3 package with the linked one.
This is expected to work with Rosetta2, but we could not try it yet. Feedback is appreciated.

I will try!

Seems to work:
