Clearer README about libetpan HOT 4 OPEN

Hi @Rspoon3,
were you able to build libetpan on mac M1 ? if so, can you please provide a detailed description of how? I have problem to get it working.

Thanks

from libetpan.

You have to run the bash scripts in the build-mac folder

from libetpan.

@Rspoon3
I tried to execute command but execution failed. Here are logs. Were you able to build some binary?

running prepare-cyrus-sasl.sh
prepare sources
building tools
generated makemd5arm64 properly

Command ExternalBuildToolExecution failed with a nonzero exit code

and here is a error from log file mentioned above:

*** building for iPhoneOS - armv7 ***

from libetpan.

I was able to get it to build but at this point I don't remember exactly how. You'll have to mess around with the build script and possibly comment out some of the code.

In the end, I gave up on using this library. It's no-longer supported and clearly has issues related to Apple Silicon.
