On MacOS you may also need to define some or all of the following environment variables (assuming Homebrew is configured to install into `/opt/homebrew`):

```
CFLAGS=-I/opt/homebrew/include
CPATH=/opt/homebrew/include
CPPFLAGS=-I/opt/homebrew/include
DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib:/opt/homebrew/lib:/usr/lib
HOMEBREW_CELLAR=/opt/homebrew/Cellar
HOMEBREW_PREFIX=/opt/homebrew
HOMEBREW_REPOSITORY=/opt/homebrew
LDFLAGS=-L/opt/homebrew/lib
LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/homebrew/lib
```

We successfully compiled OpenRTX also on a Pine64 PinePhone running PostmarketOS (based on Alpine Linux). To install the build dependencies on PostmarketOS run the following command:
```
sudo apk add git meson build-base sdl2-dev
