To make and execute a Go build specifically for Mac operating systems, follow these steps:

  1. Set the environment variable to specify the target operating system as darwin:
export GOOS=darwin
  1. Build the executable using the go build command:
go build -o <executable-name>

Replace <executable-name> with a name of your choice.

  1. Execute the executable file:
./<executable-name>

Note: If you are building a graphical user interface (GUI) application for Mac, you can use the go build command with the -ldflags and -tags arguments to include the necessary frameworks and libraries:

go build -o <executable-name> -ldflags="-s -w" -tags="cocoa"

This will include the necessary frameworks and libraries for a Mac GUI application.
