that macOS doesn't normally have installed?

fpGUI doesn't have a native Cocoa or Carbon interface yet - one is planned. But for years OSX came with everything that was needed to run fpGUI based applications - XQuartz. So for years fpGUI based applications just ran without problems. XQuartz is a Apple version of the X server and came standard with OSX.

But as with everything Apple does (which is so G*d damn stupid), they keep on reducing functionality and removing all the useful features from the OS to dumb it down more and more - because all consumers are dumb asses right. ;-) Anyway, so they removed XQuartz from the base install of OSX. It is now a separate add-on that you need to install. I can't remember in which exact OSX version they removed XQuartz though.

You can download XQuartz from the dedicated project website:

  https://www.xquartz.org/

After that, your fpGUI based applications will run as normal again.
