Hi,
I'm not sure if this kind of post is considered on-topic on
emacs-devel. If not, I can move it elsewhere (help-gnu-emacs,
perhaps?).
I just tried to build the latest emacs-25 branch on OS X 10.11.1, but failed:
$ make install
[...]
CC xml.o
xml.c:23:10: fatal error: 'libxml/tree.h' file not found
#include <libxml/tree.h>
^
1 error generated.
make[1]: *** [xml.o] Error 1
make: *** [src] Error 2
Among the output of my `./configure':
[...]
checking for LIBXML2... yes
checking for htmlReadMemory in -lxml2... yes
[...]
Does Emacs use -lxml2? yes
[...]
IIRC OS X already provides libxml2, so I don't need to install one. But
it seems that `make' cannot find `libxml/tree.h' in my header search
path. Can anyone point me in the right direction? How to troubleshoot
this kind of problem?
TIA

I suggest looking in the file configure.ac for the strings "xcsdkdir" and
"libxml2", and checking src/Makefile for its LIBXML2_CFLAGS setting.

Thanks for the hint!
In configure.ac:
xcsdkdir=`$XCRUN --show-sdk-path 2>/dev/null`
[...]
LIBXML2_CFLAGS="-I'$xcsdkdir/usr/include/libxml2'"
My $XCRUN is empty (I don't know why), therefore, in src/Makefile:
LIBXML2_CFLAGS = -I/usr/include/libxml2
But I don't even have the /usr/include/ directory. With GNU findutils
(find / -regex '.*xml.*') I found that libxml2 is in
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.11.sdk/usr/include,
instead of /usr/include/.
What should I do now? `sudo ln -s' looks like an ugly hack. Any suggestions?

you are missing the command line tools for OSX. Try running `xcode-select
--install` from the command line
