[ESS] Error installing on Mac

Hi all,

I'm updating ESS by installing from source. I uncommented the MacOS related lines from makeconfig, but I get this error:

>make
/bin/sh: /Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs: No such file or directory
********************* VERSIONS **************************

ESS 24.01.1
ESSR 1.8
sed: 1: "lisp/ess-custom.el": extra characters at the end of l command
make: *** [version] Error 1

This error appears to be related to the fact that the BSD sed on Mac is different than the GNU sed.

I looked for a similar issue on GitHub but didn't find anything.

Thanks,
Liz
