Yeah I know.

The issue is that macos OpenCL is basically not supported and OLD, like version 1.2.
So some dev made the miner but it does not work on all combination since libraries mismatch.

I helped to test and recompile the xmr code (which open source).
It was a real pain !
I had to use homebrew, recompiled bunch of libraries.
Modify some make scripts and finally worked.
I tested on KawPow, so you can use unminable service to mine bunch of other algos too.

I know there are a lot of people with hackintosh and AMD cards who can use this miner if they want to.
Looking to see if there are any issues (which probably there are) with other AMD cards, I tested on RX 580 and someone tested on Radeon Pro 5300
