MacOS support

[heywoodlh]

I created a zen-browser flake with MacOS support and Linux support: https://github.com/heywoodlh/flakes/tree/main/zen-browser

I think that your Linux support is much better than what I have implemented 😄 -- but it'd be nice if your flake supported MacOS so I could just use your flake!

When I have the willpower, I'll create a Pull Request to implement this in your flake, if desired -- but if you have the time/cycles, MacOS support would be really nice.

Thanks.

Yes please! I have no Mac hardware to test a flake on so it's not super easy for me to test if everything works, I'd appreciate a contribution with MacOS

hi @heywoodlh you mind if I port your auto update script and the macos support to this repo?

[omarcresp]

I just posted the #50 PR with the auto update script, working on the macOS build from source. Looking for people interested in helping testing it :)

I'm looking forward to this and will gladly test any implemented solution

The problem is that the buildFirefoxMach isn't available on Darwin and that is because long time ago it was supported by maintainers and then those maintainers went and everything broke so they don't support Darwin anymore because of this.
If you wish zen to be supported on Darwin machines please consider to maintain the buildFirefoxMach or at least Firefox on Darwin. Also this is said by Firefox maintainer on nixos here.

The problem is that the buildFirefoxMach isn't available on darwin and that is because long time ago it was supported by maintainers and then those maintainers went and everything broke so they don't support darwin anymore because of this.

CC @MarceColl feel free to close this issue as non planned, because it's not possible until someone maintains the Firefox on Darwin machines.
