- macOS is picky about its build-time environment. Type `brew sh` before
building to get the Homebrew dependencies in your path.

for updates here!
Mesa's default builds with the Apple GLX uses Mesa as a front for the
hardware-accelerated system OpenGL framework, to provide hardware acceleration
to X11 applications on macOS running via XQuartz.
Mesa's software rasterizers also work on macOS. To build, set the build options
`-Dosmesa=true -Dglx=gallium-xlib` and select an appropriate Gallium software
rasterizer.
For native hardware, stay tuned for updates here!
