Is it possible to build these modules on macOS ? If so, how can I build them ?

[japrozs]

I ran the command

make modules -j(nproc) # the () because i'm using fish shell

on macOS and I'm getting the following error output

No*,

*You would need to first get the os agnostic pieces to compile then write Darwin specific mode-setting, rendering, and ioctl code.
