MacOs support

[codeninja-ru]

How difficult is it to add MacOs support? Do you think it will be possible in the near future? I believe it would be beneficial since many developers use Apple laptops for work, and it could help popularize MSEide+MSEgui

Hello.
Of course it will be possible to add MacOS support!
But the major problem is: who has the skill and energy to do it?
Personally I don't have the level to do it. I don't have a Mac computer and every time I tried to install the Mac OS on a virtual computer I failed.

Msegui is an open-source project and everyone is welcome to improve it. For the future I think it would be good to have compatibility with Wayland too (even if msegui is yet perfectly compatible with XWayland).
There are some steps here: https://github.com/fredvs/wayland-pascal

But yes, MacOS support will be a great plus.

Hum, I dont know well how Mac works, but you may take a look how LCL-Lazarus did for customdraw-for-mac (if there is one).
fpGUI has MacOS support and inspiration can come from it but it is no more useful because it uses XQuartz who is no more used in last MacOS.

It is possible to have now MSEgui apps working on MacOS via XQuartz:

Since commit: 675bf9b

MSEide can compile and run project too on the Mac.
[EDIT] Also the Targetconsole is working.
