Unable to build

I tried building Minic on Mac. It complains about tbprobe.h not being found.

Another smaller issue I had was

readlink: illegal option -- f
usage: readlink [-n] [file ...]

but I fixed that by simply removing readlink:

#dir=$(readlink -f $(dirname $0)/..)
dir=$(dirname $0)/..

Hi,

You need fathom for this to work as stated in the README.md of Minic but this also can be disable just switching off the WITH_SYZYGY in Minic source code.

About the readlink thing, I wasn't aware MACOS version of readlink didn't support "-f" option, indeed you can remove it safely.

The warning about {} is also annoying a little, i'll fix that, thanks.

I checked out Fathom from the Minic directory and it worked!

Maybe put the note about Fathom in the Readme? I just followed "Linux : use the given build script (or make your own ...)", the Fathom stuff didn't look like something I needed to care about unless I particularly wanted SYZYGY.

Thanks ;-)
