* Runtime problems specific to macOS
** Error "Emacs can't be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software".
Apple may incorrectly catalog Emacs as potentially malicious software
and show an error that resembles the following when you try to open
Emacs for the first time:
"Emacs" can't be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious
software. This software needs to be updated. Contact the developer
for more information.
To avoid this alert, open Finder, go to Applications, control-click
the Emacs app icon, and then choose Open. This adds a security
exception for Emacs and from now on you should be able to open it by
double-clicking on its icon, like any other app.
** macOS doesn't come with libxpm, so only XPM3 is supported.
Libxpm is available for macOS as part of the XQuartz project.
