You need to have some kind of libx11 installed currently, for the GUI parts of dlib. For Mac OSX it's available under the xquartz project.

Don't forget to log out and then log back in again once you've install xquarts for it to take affect.

And don't forget CMAKE!

Closing, if after setting up xquartz it still does not work, feel free to reopen.
