Prepare to compile kernel on macOS

https://github.com/nsabovic/homebrew-public

Install all the GNU tools and make sure they're used:

brew install findutils coreutils gnu-tar gnu-sed make

export PATH="/usr/local/opt/findutils/libexec/gnubin:/usr/local/opt/coreutils/libexec/gnubin:/usr/local/opt/gnu-tar/libexec/gnubin:/usr/local/opt/gnu-sed/libexec/gnubin:/usr/local/opt/make/libexec/gnubin:$PATH"

For make menuconfig you need ncurses:

brew install ncurses

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:/usr/local/opt/ncurses/lib/pkgconfig"

Install the elf.h header:

brew install nsabovic/linuxonmac/elf-header

Generate compile_commands.json

https://github.com/gniuk/linux-compile-commands

Config the kernel as you want:

make ARCH=i386 menuconfig

Generate build log:

LANGUAGE=en make V=1 ARCH=i386 -j1 --dry-run |& tee build-log.txt

Generate compile_commands.json:

compiledb < build-log.txt
