Add support of macOS development hosts to CMakePresets.json

[oskidan]

Hi everyone,

I noticed that the template project did not allow a Darwin-based operating system (such as macOS) to be used as a development host.

This PR fixes that issue.

Can you please move this PR upstream to https://github.com/cpp-best-practices/cpp_boilerplate_project? That’s where this kind of thing should be discussed. Thanks.

Are you able to use any of the Linux presets on Mac? You are right that we should support Mac better, but it surprises me that the Linux presets aren’t generic enough to work for you.

OK, I will.

The presets themselves are generic enough. They can't be used on macOS because of this check: https://github.com/cpp-best-practices/ftxui_template/blob/69ccbc830fe8c81f81992e340aca081d90d98ba8/CMakePresets.json#L45-L49
If this check was modified to be "Linux" or "Darwin", everything would probably work fine. I don't know if VSCode CMake Tools allows that.
