configure error: librt is not available in macos

Command:
configure --with-fuse

Error message:
checking for mq_open in -lrt... no
configure: error: Cannot find librt (the POSIX.1b Realtime
Extensions Library)! wimlib needs this for the POSIX message queue
functions, which are used in the code for mounting WIM images. Recent
versions of glibc include this library. Either install this library, or
configure --without-fuse to disable support for mounting WIM images.

Reason: macOS does not provide librt, nor provides relevant functions like 'mqd_t' and 'mq' in libSystem.B.dylib. Are there any possible solutions? I need fuse because I want to mount wim files.

WIM mounting is only supported on Linux.

Can you use wimextract and wimupdate instead?
