Provide a non-AVX MuJoCo build

[saran-t]

@saran-t thank you for pointing out. I will try to fix issue at my mind with WSL. It doesnt give me enough information to go on with it so far only say that "Illegal instruction". Maybe I am missing something. Sorry for spamming this thread.
Thanks

Your CPU doesn't support the AVX instruction set. Were you somehow able to get it to work on the same machine under Windows 10? This shouldn't have been possible.

We can consider building without AVX as well to support this use case.

[Br3hman]

Sorry for mixed up, it was another machine I ran it. And I thought maybe it's not working on surfaces go because of the windows update. Now I know thanks for clearing up. Best regards

[Br3hman]

If you could build without AVX that would be great. Let me know if I can try it for you.

I am looking for non-AVX build too, for some specific processors like apple M1 which does not support AVX.

[saran-t]

For Apple Silicon we'll be providing a AArch64 build (or rather a Universal Binary) so AVX isn't a concern there. See Issue #2

[saran-t]

We are not going to provide prebuilt binaries without AVX, however since MuJoCo is now open source people should be able to build these for themselves if required.
