Description
MacOS no longer ships a libcrypt as required by crypt_r, so you need to install one. If you use Brew this will work:
```shell
brew install libxcrypt
env LDFLAGS="-L$(brew --prefix libxcrypt)/lib" CFLAGS="-I$(brew --prefix libxcrypt)/include" ./scripts/initenv.sh
```
Now you have a working venv for doing the cmdeploy.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the macOS failure with scripts/initenv.sh and read how it builds the Python environment for cmdeploy. Check whether the issue calls for changing the script or documenting the libxcrypt and Homebrew prerequisite; done means a macOS environment initializes successfully without the crypt_r build error.
