Somehow I feel like it may possibly not be completely pointless to consider a compilation of LinuxCNC or parts of it on non-Linux Operating Systems. At least we should prepare debian/configure for the event that someone is trying it. Here is what I came up with. My personal immediate motivation is to support writers of the documentation who are likely to have a the source tree on whatever OS their machine may be.
My attempt on MacOS did not complete a configure run. But that is just because of missing packages in brew - nothing technical. Conda may also be worthwhile to have a look, but the libgpiod-dev equivalent for either I fail to find. It may be of interest to come up with a configure option that prepared for the documentation only.
