1. Error: Undefined Macro argument list;
   Fix: Add -no-cpp-precomp to CFLAGS in Makefile.

2. Error: configure: error: can not guess host type; you must specify one
   Fix: Replace config.sub and config.guess with the ones from /usr/libexec and then remove config.cache.

Make sure you have the directories:
/usr/local/bin
Check with ls /usr/local and ls /usr/local/bin
If not you want to create them with:
mkdir /usr/local
mkdir /usr/local/bin
Make symbolic links
ln -s /usr/bin/cc /usr/bin/gcc
ln -s /usr/bin/c++ /usr/bin/g++
ln -s /usr/bin/cc /usr/local/bin/gcc
ln -s /usr/bin/c++ /usr/local/bin/g++
*you may want to do this as root*

• Error: ./configure with every path you can think of specified keeps asking for a library or header file inside of a directory. This frequently occurs when including build directories.
  
• Solution: inside your build directory create a lib and an include directory. Placing libs in the lib one and all header files inside the include one. I recommend copying the files in there, but you may achieve success if you symbolically link them or move them in there.
  

/System/Library/Frameworks/Kernel.framework/Versions/A/Headers/sys/malloc.h

/usr/include/objc/malloc.h

• Error:
  I told configure where a file/lib/binary/header was, put lib and include dirs in my build tree and I still get something like:
  

  code:

  checking for <option/file>.....no

• Fix:
  Some configuration scripts wander down an application specific source tree when you specify an option. For example, if you specify --something=/usr/local/include the configure script may look for /usr/local/include/somedir/another/something or ever worse /usr/local/include/local/include/somedir/another/something.

  To fix this you need to either know exactly what configure is looking for or edit the file. Fortunately configuration scripts are USUALLY layed out in blocks where the screen message almost directly precedes the test. So if your option was --with-sysctl then your best bet is to search for sysctl, look beneath is and see the structure it's looking for, then either edit it, feed it the right arguments, or alter the requested files location.
  

• Error: Configure check complains about build directory location. You won't come across this often, but if you do the fix is simple

• Fix: As root unpack the archive you are building in /
  

• Error: Item is declared differently on platform
• Fix: replace uint32_t with u_int32_t (this is qnd)

14: definition of sys_errlist
Edit the code around line 265 of /usr/include/stdio.h so that it looks like this:

code:

---

#ifdef mygnudarwindef
extern __const char *__const sys_errlist[];

You may get errors that say you do not have threading on your system.
Edit your Makefiles and remove the "-lpthread" flag from them.
Darwin has threading capability built-into the OS, it doesn't use an external library.
