Recompiling with these few changes helped and the networking drivers _seems_ to be working on macOS. At least I got past the error I was getting initially. I'm just now dealing with a slightly different set of problems related to libvirt sockets on macOS. The Homebrew formula ships a launchd plist which doesn't seem to do socket activation, unlike systemd. I worked around that by setting the socket dir path manually in the config: unix_sock_dir = "/usr/local/var/run/libvirt" which did make libvirtd create "libvirt-sock" in that directory as expected, but per docs there should also be a secondary read-only socket "libvirt-sock-ro" https://libvirt.org/daemons.html#monolithic-sockets and it's not there for some reason. Is there any additional configuration needed to activate that secondary socket? Feel free to tell me if this is getting too off-topic btw. - The big picture is that I'm trying to get libvirt working on darwin and automate RPi virtualization via Vagrant (vagrant-libvirt) and taking it step by step.

I was attempting to virtualize Raspberry Pi on qemu via libvirt, where my host machine is macOS (both qemu and libvirt installed via Homebrew) and I while trying to set up the network I stumbled upon this:
$ virsh -c qemu:///system?socket=/usr/local/var/run/libvirt/libvirt-sock net-list --all
Aside: if you have libvirt >= 6.9.0, which at this point is very likely, you shouldn't need to include the 'socket' parameter in the connection URI; in fact, for local connections, it should have worked without the parameter even before that.
