(close to exhaustion) anyone mining on Mac with eGPU?

Hi everyone,

yes, I am a complete noob, yes, I know mining on a Mac is crazy, but as I have a working eGPU (GTX1070) I was wondering if I am the only one trying to use it for mining.
(no, I am not using my CPU to melt my thousand euros Mac , in case you are asking)
After a couple of days I realized this things, correct me if I am wrong:

- No NVIDIA driver on Mojave, so must use 10.13 , and eGPU works fine.

- Only decent GUI app seems to be Mac Miner, but unfortunately it's no more updated, mining scripts are old , in my case I just managed to use Keccak, but its completely unprofitable.

- ETHMINER , I've been trying for AGES all releases (back to 0.12) but never got a Mhs, best I managed was connection to pool but 0Mhs..

- nheqminer ! The only one I managed to have working properly ! But since Equihash is now completely a matter of ASIC, it's become highly unprofitable
 anyone knows any way to make nheqminer to switch algorithm from Equihash to the new ZHASH (that should be GPU only and ASIC resistant? )

-ccminer , stuck on " Error when running ./build.sh: ./configure: line 6165: syntax error near unexpected token ,' ./configure: line 6165: LIBCURL_CHECK_CONFIG(, 7.15.2, ,'"
even following troubleshooting steps, no way to make it work

Really appreciate all kind of help here, happy mining everyone!

Download source code from git repository
Code:
$ git clone https://github.com/ethereum-mining/ethminer.git

Go to the source code directory
Code:
$ cd ethminer

Create a build directory
Code:
$ mkdir build; cd build

Configure the project with CMake
Code:
$ cmake ..

If you have NVidia GPU(s), you need to add more options
Code:
$ cmake .. -DETHASHCUDA=ON

Build the project using CMake Build Tool Mode
Code:
$ cmake --build .

you are welcome!

Sorry guys, I am new to mining and I don't know much of programming
I have a Mac and successfully manage to mine Equihash with an external eGpu (gtx1070)

but having a 1070 it would be great to start mining some eth!

So, I download ETHMINER from Github, extract the package ,create a Build directory and next I should CREAT A BUILD FILE
AND HOW DO I DO THAT?
I installed CMAKE on my Mac but I know nothing of programming...
If inside the folder I type "make .."
CMake Error: The source directory "/Users/destrocci/bin" does not appear to contain CMakeLists.txt

on
https://github.com/ethereum-mining/ethminer/blob/master/docs/BUILD.md#macos
there is no info

Anyone can help me please?
Thank you guys
