Given that this is a MacOS specific limitation it's not a good idea
to force it on the common code for everyone else.
The 'meson.build' file in the project root uses, in line 1727:
host_machine.system() != 'darwin'
To identify the building system as MacOS. IMO you should use an
"if host_machine.system() != 'darwin'" inside the 'foreach'
loop
below to do whatever it is necessary for MacOS, leave the rest as
is.
Thing is, we want our test suite to run on as many platforms as possible
(ideally every supported one), because only then we can guarantee basic
functionality of that platform. But client also contains some drivers
and thus is worth testing. Therefore, I would rather see us running all
tests possible.
