Re: Help wanted to build on MacOS

I recently revised the macOS build instructions in the User Manual to use Homebrew and LLVM.  After parsing through the Developer's wiki and the previous instructions, these instructions seem to be easier (?).  

However I don't have a mac, so I can't test them.  My intent is for the instructions to have sufficient detail so that someone with a little bit of experience can build LibreCAD on a mac, but without having a full understanding the build process.  Hopefully it is a matter of cut'n'paste to copy the instructions from the webpage to the command prompt.

1.  Would someone work through the instructions and let me know if there are any problems with them or if some of the details are not accurate?
2.  I assume the instructions require the command line.  I'm guessing that is via "Terminal" on a mac?
3.  Also, what version of macOS will support these instructions?  Does it need to the the most current or will it work on older versions??

Thanks for your help...
