Dear Rony,

your latest change made Unix/Linux diverge from what is currently installed for 
macOS/Darwin :-(:

On macOS the samples are still in installed to

/Applications/ooRexx5/share/ooRexx 

and the native samples to the subfolder 

/Applications/ooRexx5/share/ooRexx/native.api

The documentation is placed at

/Applications/ooRexx5/Documentation

Which is much easier for the user to find than

/Applications/ooRexx5/share/ooRexx/doc

In ooRexx on macOS all you have to do to find the documentation is to unfold 
the ooRexx main folder. To navigate to a subfolder 3 levels down is 
"surprising" in my opinion.

Should the macOS installation be amended, and to what extent? The folder 
structure for the samples is what comes out of CMake, I did not change anything 
there.

Hälsningar/Regards/Grüsse,
P.O. Jonsson
