Description of issue

I have brew on macOS 15.2, arm64. I want to download the package binary for macOS 14.7, x86_64 architecture.

How can I do it?

You can run brew fetch --bottle-tag=monterey $formula and the bottle (binary package) will be available at the location specified by brew --cache --bottle-tag=monterey $formula.

Note: although bottles are gzipped tarballs, they are not ready for use in general (some install-time processing could be needed). You can probably force installing the bottle with brew install "$(brew --cache --bottle-tag=monterey $formula)" but by doing so you're on your own.

Thanks, it works.

I only need .a lib, because the program linked with cross-built libluajit.a is having SIGSEG problem when it is built for release.
