Error building lnp-forge on macOS

[armlesshobo]

I'm getting an error trying to build lnp-forge:

[myhost:~/Projects/lnp-forge] me % ./configure --prefix=$PWD && make install checking build system type... x86_64-apple-darwin19.6.0 checking host system type... x86_64-apple-darwin19.6.0 checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c checking for grep that handles long lines and -e... /usr/bin/grep checking for egrep... /usr/bin/grep -E checking for a sed that does not truncate output... /usr/bin/sed checking whether sed understands -r -i -e... no configure: error: [myhost:~/Projects/lnp-forge] me%

Try this instead: $ autoconf && ./configure --prefix=$PWD && make install

(TBH lnp-forge has never been used on MacOS before. Still it relies on a framework and standard *nix tools that should be compatible.)

Did the libSDL_image-1.2.so.0 stuff for mac ever get sorted out? No amount of installing or re-installing and validating path appear to resolve this on mac.

I'm not familiar with this problem, and never had the chance to use lnp-forge on MacOS. Feel free to use this thread to discuss the issue or get feedback from other users.

I think it's tied to jankiness with the Apple Silicon / Rosetta2 / command line tools and libraries. Thanks for keeping this project alive!
