Build instructions for macOS

[elsurudo]

I'm sure I'm in the minority trying to use this on macOS, but it would be nice!

Also, a pre-built binary as well

If you have a mac, you're by far the best one to find these instructions and to share them ;-)

[elsurudo]

Fair enough. Actually I have tried and gotten past the cmake step by installing all the dependencies. Now, the issue I have is that when I run make, the games.c file is not found – where does this file come from?

[illwieckz]

It's expected to be generated at build time (and yes it's ugly, the code compiles a code to run a binary to produces a source that will be compiled after that, that's the kind of weird stuff you can find in a 20 years old project 😱 ).

Do you have a gamesxml2c binary in your build/ dir after having done the cmake .. ; make dance?

[elsurudo]

I had to do a make gamesxml2c between cmake and make, and I eventually got the binary to build. Still haven't gotten it to run successfully though – it can't find some dependencies. I think it's looking in the wrong places, and I will need to recompile with some flags set.
