Building test version of subsurface on Mac

[Dirk Hohndel]

Fix pushed

https://github.com/Subsurface-divelog/subsurface/releases/tag/ci-release <https://github.com/Subsurface-divelog/subsurface/releases/tag/ci-release>

now contains a Mac .app.zip -- GitHub has revved their macOS environment and it seems that the binary doesn't run on older macOS versions - but I haven't done extensive testing. The one thing I can see immediately is that the Subsurface binary itself isn't executable.
So please download, unzip, and then 'chmod +x ./Subsurface.app/Contents/MacOS/Subsurface` and then try to execute that binary. Depending on your macOS version this may fail. If it does, I'll need to figure out a different way to create a binary that you can use...

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!

It looks like the latest set is missing the macOS .app.zip file :-(

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.
