The procedure

1. Install the Prerequisites for Mac OS X.
2. Follow Minimal installation from SVN, and disregard the stuff about prefixes.

Troubleshooting

modes not generated

Problem

Everything works fine except the .mode files aren't being generated.

Solution

Try installing gawk (sudo port install gawk)

autogen/make "does not work"

Problem

some problem during autogen/make (what was the problem?)

Solution

$ aclocal -I /usr/local/share/aclocal
$ glibtoolize --force
$ aclocal -I /usr/local/share/aclocal
$ automake -a
$ autoconf
$ autoheader
$ automake -a
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/
$ make
$ sudo make install

endian_double_util.cc:38: error: ‘fread_unlocked’ was not declared in this scope

Just change the code to use fread instead of fread_unlocked (the latter is just faster).

Or, do this when compiling:

CPPFLAGS=" -Dfread_unlocked=fread " ./autogen.sh && make && sudo make install
