As far as I'm aware, no-one has replied to your post about compiling on Mac, 
because as a general rule, we don't expect this to be needed.  Most people 
developing on lilypond use Ubuntu which we know will compile the binary. 
For those who don't have an Ubuntu machine, we would recommend 
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.17/Documentation/contributor/lilydev
