Hi Bert,
I think that I was able to get liblouisxml to install by hacking the
makefile, but the Mac Makefile isn't really necessary. I was able to
get it to install without it by installing pkg-config on the Mac (just
as Michel's instructions do for windows).
It has been a while since I got this to work, but if someone will
confirm that it works for them on their mac, then the special mac
directory should be able to be removed.
1. Download pkg-config from http://pkg-config.freedesktop.org/releases/
(I downloaded .23). Uncompress it and install with
tar xfz pkg-config-0.23.tar.gz
cd pkg-config-0.23
./configure
make
sudo make install
This should by default install it in /usr/local; if you install in /
usr, I think you should be able to skip the next step.
2. cd to the liblouisxml directory and add the following line to the
autogen.sh file before the autoreconf line.
aclocal -I /usr/local/share/aclocal
(There should be a more permanent way to add this path, but I wasn't
able to figure it out.)
Run ./autogen.sh
3. Then just install as normal; ./configure; make; sudo make install
Like I said, it has been a while since I got it to install, but this
should work. If it doesn't work, let me know, and if anyone knows of
a less hackish way of doing it, let me know.

Hi,
Today I tried to install liblouisxml again on my Mac, but this time
it failed. My guess is that it got something to do with
"transcriber.h", which was removed in revision 172 (november 2009).
I think "mac-osx-10.5/Makefile" is outdated, because it still
contains some lines with "transcriber.h" in it.
