Comment (by trommler):

 Replying to [comment:4 trommler]:
 > Hmm, this issue is different. In #10322 we are linking temporary shared
 libraries. Here the problem is that the shared library for package GLUT
 cannot be loaded because of a missing symbol.

 On my Linux box `glutBitmap8By13` is defined in `libglut.so`. Could you
 check if `_glutBitmap8By13` is defined in the GLUT framework on Mac OS.
 Perhaps another Framework defines that symbol and thus needs to be linked
 too. In Mach-O symbols are not reexported by default (we discussed that in
 #10322). This is different from ELF.
