# No Homebrew dependencies anymore. `brew install sdl2` used to provide
# libSDL2.a, but the formula is nowadays an alias for sdl2-compat (a dynamic
# shim over SDL3) which ships no static archive — the libtool step of
# MTEngineSDL then failed with "could not find 'libSDL2.a'". Static SDL2 is
# now built from source and staged by build-macos.sh, next to uSockets.a.
# llama.cpp / ftxui / mbedtls are built by MTEngineSDL's Xcode script phases.
# SDL2 is the only external (Homebrew) dependency of the macOS build; it
# provides libSDL2.a, which the MTEngineSDL static lib merges in (libtool).
# llama.cpp / ftxui / mbedtls are built by MTEngineSDL's Xcode script phases,
# and uSockets is built by build-macos.sh — neither needs Homebrew here.
