Missing depednency, byteswap.h, MacOS 13.6

[phillip-at-work]

Encountered missing dependency during pip install. Seems to be a general macos issue. See full trace. Can you suggest a fix?

(volatility) indigo-mac-000:volatility3 indigo$ pip install leechcorepyc

note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.

macOS is currently not supported unfortunately.

I got an M2 mac a month ago or so just to be able to add support, but other work have come in-between unfortunately.

I'll put this up as an enhancement suggestion.

[ConnorBP]

I would like to get this working on my mac. Would be nice to use it as my attack device since it is my favorite development device. I could give it some attempt, though I'm unsure what porting this for mac might entail. Has anyone else had any success with this so far they would like to share? Or a fork that has already been started?

Edit: found this gist 😄
