Compiling on macOS with HomeBrew

[akauppi]

I needed the following to get wsta to compile:

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$(brew --prefix openssl)/lib:"${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}"
CPATH=$(brew --prefix openssl)/include:"${CPATH}"
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$(brew --prefix openssl)/lib/pkgconfig:"${PKG_CONFIG_PATH}"
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH CPATH PKG_CONFIG_PATH

Maybe this could be mentioned in the README in a suitable manner. Unfortunately, I don't feel confident in providing an actual PR.

Hi!

Thanks for the heads up. I don't have a mac anymore, so I can't confirm or deny this. If this is indeed required to compile on MacOS, then I would merge a PR updating the README. Any help on the mac side of things is appreciated, seeing as I can't very well support development on a platform I don't have

Unfortunately, I can't vouch for much help right now, either. Let's see if other Mac users thumb up this find, meaning it was not only me. :)
