TCP support was added for the Linux build (e.g. rcxlib/RCX_TcpPipe_linux.cpp); extend this capability to other platforms, including Windows and Mac OS.

I made my own Homebrew tap using jverne/nqc so that you can install nqc on macOS by typing:

brew install davidperrenoud/nqc/nqc

This will download the compiled version (bottle) on macOS 12 Intel and compile it from source on other architecture such as ARM or macOS versions.

You could provide the same functionality with the following formula:

class Nqc < Formula
  desc "Programming language for LEGO MINDSTORMS RCX, CyberMaster and Scout"
  homepage "https://bricxcc.sourceforge.net/nqc/"
  url "https://github.com/BrickBot/nqc/archive/refs/tags/v3.1-r6.tar.gz"
  version "3.1r6"
  sha256 "24aaa060f438606965ce17986af2e3e91ea9ccba7ffb4687ee6f89f3cd4ee585"
  license "MPL-2.0"

  def install
    ENV.deparallelize
    system "make", "install", "PREFIX=#{prefix}", "MANDIR=#{man}/man1"
  end

  test do
    system "#{bin}/nqc", "-help"
  end
end

As your repository is compatible with Linux, you do not need to add depends_on :macos.

You can configure your repository to automatically upload macOS 12 Intel and Ubuntu 22.04 bottles with the following guide:
https://brew.sh/2020/11/18/homebrew-tap-with-bottles-uploaded-to-github-releases/

Other architectures are only available in homebrew-core but they do not allow repositories with less than 75 stars.

The Makefile does not appear to reference a Windows build, and platform-specific files such as rcxlib/RCX_USBTowerPipe_win.cpp do not appear to be included in the build.

Also see the file "PORTING" for additional details.
