I upgraded to an M1, but I need to work with Rosetta sometimes. In order to accomplish that I've installed two versions of Homebrew, one that targets arm64e and one that targets x86_64. Then I taught Fish to fix the path depending on the architecture.
I'd like to do something similar with ruby-install, namely automatically change the install directory based on the target architecture. I was hoping to do that with an environment variable because I don't want to have to remember to check the architecture and then pass the right thing to --install-dir. However, it doesn't look like I can control the installation directory via ENV var.
First, does the "separate path per architecture" approach make sense? If so, does adding an ENV var seem like an acceptable solution?
If not, I was thinking of building universal binaries, but I think that will be its own can of worms especially if I (for example) link against OpenSSL in one Homebrew installation, but then switch to a different architecture and try to use the same Ruby.
Thanks for your time!
