Beginner question: Is it possible to compile with Xcode instead of Homebrew and QT for Mac?

[sebarious70]

Fair warning: I know little to nothing about programming. I just have an interest in it but no time to dig into it. However, I would like to take a jab at compiling TS Muxer, since I have used it on and off for the last ten years.

Nothing wrong with the actual Mac version, that while it seems to be one version behind the Windows version, it works fine. This is just about downloading the code into Xcode and taking a look at it, just to see if I learn something. And if possible, I would like to compile it and run it.

But I would prefer not to install Homebrew, whatever QT for Mac is (it's in the compiling doc for macOS), because a year ago when I started trying to install this and that with Homebrew and other stuff, I would open Terminal and instead of seeing just two lines with the last login and the computer name and prompt, I'd get all this barrage of Homebrew and some other CLI stuff showing. Next time I did a clean install of macOS, I didn't install any of that stuff and would prefer to keep it that way.

Whatever Xcode uses internally, it doesn't fill the Terminal with lots of things I have no idea what they are or how to get rid of.

So since I did a search here for xcode and got no results, I'm guessing it's not possible or someone would've posted it by now, but I thought I'd ask just in case.
