The X11 window wrapper should in theory work on older Macintosh systems, but High Sierra is said to break this compatibility. Using XQartz seems like the simplest first step, but a native port might give better performance. Using a third party media layer with heavy dependencies would defeat the purpose of making this library.

This might have to wait for another release, because a contribution would be needed when I'm not a Macintosh user.

MacOS is said to not have a native C API, so one would have to create Objective-C wrappers to make system calls from C++.

PulseAudio should be possible to support while working on Linux, so that only graphics would remain for the Macintosh port.

Gamma correction would be needed, either as a filter before the final canvas upload when doing light effects, or applied to loaded images in native pack order for zero overhead in basic cases.
