[Users] Error while compiling on macOS

Hey David,

thank you for the response!

Adding --prefix=/opt/homebrew did the trick. I'm not sure why though,
as NETTLE_CFLAGS and NETTLE_LIBS seem unchanged.

Well, I then compiled LibEtPan with GnuTLS (not sure if what I did
there makes sense):

$ git clone https://github.com/dinhvh/libetpan.git --branch 1.9.4
$ cd libetpan
$ ./autogen.sh --with-gnutls=$(pkg-config --variable=libdir gnutls)
$ make
$ sudo make install

And then compiled Claws Mail with LibEtPan:

$ ./autogen.sh --prefix=/opt/homebrew --disable-archive-plugin
$ --disable-dillo-plugin --disable-notification-plugin
$ make
$ sudo make install

I was hoping IMAP would work, after compiling LibEtPan with GnuTLS,
though I get the "TLS handshake failed" error. Does IMAP work for you?

Also, what do you (and others) know about how people use Claws Mail on
macOS? They don't type `claws-mail` in the terminal, right?

What do the developers think about creating a "more Mac-like look and
feel", using https://www.gtk.org/docs/installations/macos/. Is this
realistic at all? I'm quite interested in trying.

Kind regards,
Leo
