Building test version of subsurface on Mac

[Dirk Hohndel]

I pointed Martin at the release link so he would be able to download binaries. I didn't expect anyone to start from those sources, frankly (they are automatically put there by GitHub, I don't think I can turn this off). Building Subsurface from non-git sources is actually harder than just from a cloned git repository!

Usually all the main binaries are in that directory https://github.com/Subsurface-divelog/subsurface/releases/tag/ci-release <https://github.com/Subsurface-divelog/subsurface/releases/tag/ci-release>, but sometimes one or more are missing because of issues with the way I implemented the uploading of releases. It looks like the latest set is missing the macOS .app.zip file :-(

I can push a current binary to the Subsurface website download area... and I can try and figure out a way to make the upload or the CICD builds more reliable - unfortunately the latest upload looks like it succeeded and somehow ended up getting overwritten / deleted by another build...

Unless you are planning to work on the code itself, I would strongly encourage people to just test with the builds we provide as that is much more indicative of what our users will experience as well.

After reading the Install file I executed cd ~/Software/subsurface/..; bash ~/Software/subsurface/scripts/build.sh -build-deps -desktop from the terminal. As a result, I get the following output.
