Additional context
I'm MacOS user. I'm also a full stack JS programmer. I really prefer unix-like system because of simplicity and integrated terminal so I often work on MacOS. If I want to make some cool stuff on MTA I have to switch to Windows PC. Not a big thing but sometimes it means a lot - switching cables, changing keyboard habits etc. I know that there is steam version of GTA:SA. I suggest that make server and client executables for MacOS system or though only server - I can still emulate Windows on VM.

This is something I've been dabbling in and out of for a while. It's a lot of work!

I'll create a separate issue for the client (later) as that involves a lot of additional development, and is something I've worked towards in the past.

[pawel-miczka]

Is there an issue for client? Actually what is to be done for the client to work?

[qaisjp]

I have written instructions to get Wine working on macOS: https://gist.github.com/qaisjp/778ed99ac8a8dcb93f797a28ba5f8303. The same instructions (with a few tweaks) works on Linux.

A future "client" would package either Wine, Wineskin or Proton into a nice installer.

Historical work on the latter is on [wiki macOS], but I don't think it is up to date, so we should probably not use Wineskin.

Any updates on the macOS server build? As the compile seems to work fine and only the net-Module is missing. Or am I missing something else which delays macOS server builds?

Btw. @qaisjp is the Idea with a macOS client still a thing?

[qaisjp]

Server: yes we're blocked on net module.

Client: there are working instructions here https://gist.github.com/qaisjp/778ed99ac8a8dcb93f797a28ba5f8303 but I can't get it to work on Catalina because it only runs 64bit software (and wine64 is unreliable on macOS, in fact impossible until recently)
