After finding that the compiled Mac verison of the code wouldn't work on the new operating systems (I'm using 10.13.2), I tried to compile from scratch. I got the following error after typing "qmake -spec macx-g++":

Info: creating stash file /Users/danhickstein/Downloads/gaussianbeam-code-140/.qmake.stash
RCC: Error in 'gui/GaussianBeam.qrc': Cannot find file '../po/GaussianBeam_fr.qm'

So, in gui/GaussianBeam.qrc, I removed line 20 "<file>../po/GaussianBeam_fr.qm</file>"

Then, I could use
qmake -spec macx-g++
make

and successfully compile the software.

I put the pre-compiled MacOS app here: https://github.com/DanHickstein/GaussianBeam
(Jerome, let me know if you'd rather that I not re-post the code.)
