Building test version of subsurface on Mac

Mon Nov 18 13:57:09 PST 2019

sorry - day job interfering with my responsiveness.

Install Homebrew if you don't have it:

https://docs.brew.sh/Installation <https://docs.brew.sh/Installation>

Then install our depenencies

brew install xz hidapi libusb libxml2 libxslt libzip openssl libgit2 libssh2

actually, I think you don't need all of them as a couple are used as static libs, but that SHOULD work.
I am creating a clean macOS 10.15 VM to try this for myself - there may be changes to these instructions once I got that working.
But I'm reasonably hopeful that this SHOULD work.

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 :-(
