How to use JSBSim UE on MacOS

[MiaFoxcat]

Hello!
I think the title is pretty self-explanatory I believe. Is there a way to use JSBSim for UE5 on MacOS?
Thanks in advance,

@KnedlikMCPE,
Well, JSBSim standalone can be compiled and run successfully on MacOSX (which is one of the supported platform of JSBSim) and the same goes for Unreal Engine 5 (according to https://www.unrealengine.com/en-US/download) so I'd guess the answer is yes.

However as far as I know no one has reported using JSBSim for UE5 successfully on MacOSX so the build procedure might need some adjustments.

I would use the standalone, are there any gotchas that would disallow me using it if I change the libJSBSim config to a shared library due to the license? I'm aware I cannot use the static one due to the license.

Not that I am aware of. JSBSim can be compiled as a shared library for that very reason: becoming compatible with the Unreal license.
You can find some further details about that topic in discussion #631.
