Description

It will be great if we could get Video2X to work for macOS, but I personally don't have a macOS environment to play with, and I don't know much about macOS. Therefore, I'm opening this thread for anyone that's interested in trying to get Video2X to compile for macOS and discuss the issues around running this software on mac.
