Initial macOS Build Support

Thats all? Besides the logger, this is like 0 lines of code to the app itself. If you think the PR is ready, can you tell me what works and what doesn't? I do not own a machine with macOS so I will be unable to test this PR.

This is mostly just to get builds working right now. Steam library selection will have to be handled differently on macOS since, unlike Windows and Linux, Windows titles are not installed in the native system version of Steam, so Steam library info could be in any arbitrary bottle. It will take some new UI to point HMM to that. If you want that added before this is merged I can mark this as draft and sort it out.

It might be fine to merge, as not like anyone would have a standard install of the Windows games. I would want the executable renamed to be clear it's for osx arm. People may confuse it with a Linux build.

Also does this work with Unleashed Recompiled?

We've not necessarily settled on what the bundle file will be called so I didn't want to make that assumption at this stage. Ig I can always change it later if necessary.

[thesupersonic16]

I think we should atleast hold the PR until further plans are set and tested for the macOS version of Unleashed Recompiled.

I just realised you are also trying to PR to the ui branch. This repo is one of those push directly to main, so when macOS ARM support is ready can you also recreate the PR to the main branch?

hi, when do you think this will be complete? (I know nothing about coding, and i'm not trying to be pushy) just curious

Builds are trivial, but building the UI for setting up config on macOS will take some time

Other than just getting the UI to build, there is a lot to do to make this usable.

I got it to detect and run UnleahsedRecompiled but mods don't work yet.

I'm focusing on other titles first until the Mac version of the recomp is officially released.

I'm curious as to why. I don't believe any of them work on macos. Right?

They all work in Wine

Managed to get mods working for unleahsed

Do you have any instructions on how to build it? I'm kind of new to this and I know it's still kinda in development so if it might be too difficult I get it

[to-fuu]

You cannot just build it yet.
Once a PR is made and merged, the docs will probably be updated (or a build will simple be added alongside other releases)

Let's not turn this thread into a tutorial
