macos can't find 'shadow.h'

[qin-nz]

Hi, I want to compile libnetconf2 on macos using following command.

cmake -DOPENSSL_ROOT_DIR=/usr/local/opt/openssl -DOPENSSL_LIBRARIES=/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib ..
make

CMake can be done with waring CMP0042. But when I try to make it, shadow.h can't be find.

/Users/dy/Source/CESNET/libnetconf2/src/session_server_ssh.c:23:10: fatal error: 'shadow.h' file not found

Hi, I am sorry, but OSX is not officially supported, so there are some issues. In this case we would have to rewrite the code that handles system user information, which is obviously performed differently. You are welcome to send a patch, but we will not be implementing this.

I'm reopening this to keep it in mind, maybe there will be someone who will fix this for macos.
