Compile from source on macOS

[cetinajero]

I tried to compile from source testdisk on macOS Catalina with success, at least until now.

I first tried to compile without Xcode and without any c compiler to be able to compare changes on ./compile after adding one.

Then installed gcc using brew and the ./compile step went enough fine to continue to next step, then, I ran a make and make install with also good enough results.

I know there are some missing Warnings on the configure step related mostly to qt5, ntfs & ext support but it may be a start to compile from source testdisk on macOS.

Finally, tried to make a recovery from a USB pendrive formatted with exFat and all went fine.

I hope to address those warnings later if manage to get the time. Do you mind in taking this progress?
