Ok7se: Describe how to build Tucnak on MacOS Sequoia

=Installation from source code=

Building Tucnak from source code is currently the only way to install it on MacOS. It has been tested on MacOS 15.3.2 with M1 arm64 processor. I haven't tested any rig control, only the logger, KST, airscatter, map, etc.

==Requirements==
You need GCC compiler and a few libraries. All necessary requirements for compiling both libzia and tucnak can be obtained via [https://brew.sh HOMEBREW]:

brew install SDL2 SDL2_ttf gnutls glib pkg-config

==Build==
tar xzf libzia-4.67.tar.gz
cd libzia-4.67
./configure
make
sudo make install
cd ..

tar xzf tucnak-4.67.tar.gz
cd tucnak-4.67
./configure
make
sudo make install

==Running Tucnak==
It may happen that your tucnak will run without graphics support. Graphics should be supported if both libzia and tucnak have been built with SDL2 and SDL2_ttf formulas installed. How to check whether SDL is properly linked:

otool -L /usr/local/bin/tucnak | grep -i SDL

You should get something like:

/opt/homebrew/opt/sdl2_ttf/lib/libSDL2_ttf-2.0.0.dylib (compatibility version 2401.0.0, current version 2401.0.0)
/opt/homebrew/opt/sdl2/lib/libSDL2-2.0.0.dylib (compatibility version 3201.0.0, current version 3201.4.0)

or just run tucnak with <code>--verbose</code> flag and grep for SDL.

If SDL is linked but graphic interface still does not show up, it might be not properly detected. In such case run

tucnak -g
