I'm happy to help test out Mac build and 'make test' fixes if someone asks.
Today I found that ki18n doesn't build for me on Mac but I notified the responsible person about it.

At the moment I'm trying to build all frameworks on Mac using kdesrc-build.
A few months ago I tried this and didn't get very far.

also.. did you notice the CI was complaining on Mac builder today..something about a timeout??
