Mac build? #110

Open mwiedmann opened 6 months ago

I've tried to get this to build on my Mac but to no avail. Is this possible? I get a wide variety of errors. It looks like it uses alsa which is a linux only sound lib. That could be a blocker.

There is no Mac build at present. I do not own a Mac, so I don't have any real way to reproduce Mac issues or promise that I could maintain a Mac build. Besides Alsa, it's my understanding that there are other things that would need to change about the Makefiles that build Box16, and to date I don't think anyone has finished any efforts to make Box16 build on Mac. That said, if someone did get it working without breaking the Linux and/or Windows builds, I would strongly consider accepting their PR and adding Mac to the CI workflows, so that at least there would be a build available.
