bug#25701: 25.1; Fresh build on OS X doesn't get keyboard control after spawned

[Philipp Stephani]

On macOS, 'make install' doesn't actually install anything, it just creates the application bundle in the nextstep directory.

Thank you for the reply. 

But what about developing? I don’t necessarily want to install this on my machine, just to test/debug to fix an emacs bug.

Hello,

I'm on 862d6438cfa6c6c035033697751f3d002357b024 and built emacs with:
`./configure --without-makeinfo`. This resulted in the binaries under
`src` called `emacs` and `emacs-26.0.50.1`. Now when I start these
binaries in a shell then the GUI does not end up getting the keyboard
control and it continues typing in the shell. In addition, focus never
shifts to the GUI and click on the top bar doesn't change focus to emacs
although I'm able to move the GUI about.

These binaries aren't proper application bundles in the macOS sense, so you can't run them directly. Run

   make install && open nextstep/Emacs.app

instead.
