It was a long time ago when I compiled it for my Mac, but I guess with MacPort or homebrew, using the same method as for linux. Get the source of Gem from the github, and just compile it after installing libvlc-dev. I think that is the whole philosophy behind it.

Just to make for others easier in the future, managed to have a video input from a webcam into Gem on Mac OS X 10.14 with the VLC plugin, which I admire very much :)
Opened vlc first and added a Capture Device, which opened immediately the webcam with a tytle of the window on the top: qtcapture://0x14100000043e3009. So sent a message to pix_vlc: device qtcapture://0x14100000043e3009 and tadam there is the live input from the webcam.
What is even better that I can use the same stream twice, once to VLC and simultaneously into Pd as well.
Thanks for all the info you gave, that is why I love this community!
Best, Popesz
