Hello the following worked and the make command completed: ./configure CFLAGS="-I/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Headers” note that the configure switch: ./configure --disable-java-bindings Does not work and will fail. So here are all the requirements; for liblouis-2.5.0 this should compile without issue on a standard Mac with Xcode and Xcode CLI tools installed for liblouisutdml-2.5.0 you will need to do the following 1. Install MacPorts 2. install pkg-config (sudo port install pkg-config) 3. Edit your ~/.profile to include the following: export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/local/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH 4. Run ./configure CFLAGS="-I/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Headers” This should give you a valid Makefile which will then make and make install.
