Since are no new complaints, I close this bug.
Please re-open if necessary.

Note that Denis Raux also constructed an SDK for building under MacOS.

I'm currently able to compile fine TeXmacs under mac with clang (clang-900.0.39.2) for High Sierra.
Does the bug still persist in other installations?

I reassign this bug to Massimiliano.

Notice that  there are stability issues with clang;
I intend to work on those.  One of the most annoying issues
is that the order of function argument evaluation is exactly
the inverse of gcc's one.  Of course, this should not matter,
but there might be some bugs inside TeXmacs due to this.

Typo in original submission (missing '-' character).  I use

  CC=gcc-4.2 CXX=g++-4.2 LIBS='-lz' ./configure --disable-debug

to build.

The builds fail when using clang-4.8, the default on OS X compiler/linker that has replaced GCC.  Building is fine with gcc-4.2.  The issue is due to out-of-spec C++.

Also, there should also be some notes, nearby the `make MACOS_BUNDLE` instructions for people build TeXmacs using Qt installed (poured) from Homebrew.  The install_name_tool will attempt to copy Qt libs into the distr bundle by creating an empty file with the same permissions as the Qt files before writing copying the contents into them.  By default, Homebrew does not give write access and so install_name_tool won't be able to "write" what's needed in these Qt lib files.  A

for i in QtGui QtCore QtSvg QtXml; do
chmod u+w $i.framework/Versions/4/$i;
chmod g+w $i.framework/Versions/4/$i;
done

will do the trick.

Lastly, autoconf needs to be prefixed with LIBS='lz' as zlib is not being linked by default, and some instructions need to be provided on how to create a mac environment (the libraries) suitable for building a TeXmacs mac bundle capable of running on OS X 10.5.
