Hi team,

You can shared a binary for macOS

Hiya,

If you have xcode installed you should have make and gcc (aliases to clang) on mac ready. Just do a brew install of sdl2 first, then run make.

brew install sdl2
make
./paperview folder_with_bmps 5

This assumes the current flavor of macos is compatible with X11 (I believe xquartz is): https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14321038/x11-xlib-h-no-such-file-or-directory-on-mac-os-x-mountain-lion

In short, its a little tricky, but possible.
