Support compiling on Mac

Unfortunately, Gtk is still lacking OpenGL support on Quartz, so as soon something like a symbol or package shows up, horizon will probably crash. Or does XQuartz support GLX?

[jeffwheeler]

Oh crap, you're right. I'm not sure if there's a workaround or not, I read some things about OpenGL for GTK on Mac, but not sure how it relates.

FYI, unfortunately running under Mac via a Parallels-installed Ubuntu installation doesn't work either; everything builds fine from master, but crashes when attempting to open a new project:

SELECT parts.uuid, parts.MPN, parts.manufacturer, packages.name, tags_view.tags, parts.filename, parts.description, parts.pool_uuid, parts.overridden FROM parts LEFT JOIN tags_view ON tags_view.uuid = parts.uuid LEFT JOIN packages ON packages.uuid = parts.package WHERE parts.MPN LIKE $mpn AND parts.manufacturer LIKE $manufacturer AND (parts.entity=$entity or $entity_all)  ORDER BY parts.MPN COLLATE naturalCompare ASC
SELECT parts.uuid, parts.MPN, parts.manufacturer, packages.name, tags_view.tags, parts.filename, parts.description, parts.pool_uuid, parts.overridden FROM parts LEFT JOIN tags_view ON tags_view.uuid = parts.uuid LEFT JOIN packages ON packages.uuid = parts.package WHERE parts.MPN LIKE $mpn AND parts.manufacturer LIKE $manufacturer AND (parts.entity=$entity or $entity_all)  ORDER BY parts.MPN COLLATE naturalCompare ASC
Compile failure in vertex shader: ERROR: 0:1: '' :  version '330' is not supported
 
gl error 1282 in src/canvas/canvas_gl.cpp:83

So presumably even inside of the VM, it's still using the incompatible Mac GL libraries.

Does anyone know if any progress can be made as of today ?

Got Horizon working in a VM:
UTM is built for Apple Silicon: https://mac.getutm.app

Debian ARM64 Bookworm (testing) is running in a VM utilizing 4 cpu cores.
Horizon EDA 2.2 is available in Bookworm and runs very fast.
Zoom, Pan, 3D-Visualization of PCB, etc. all works and is very usable.

Even the dark theme of the Mate desktop works with debian/horizon...
