Building on Mac OS X

Created attachment 280587 [details] [review] Patch for autogen.sh As Mac OS X can have gnu tool such as libtool and intltool but is not itself a gnu OS, those tools can't be call exactly the same way.

Does autogen.sh really need to detect and use each of the build tools directly? "autoreconf" is supposed to handle many of its subcomponents automatically (including autoheader, aclocal, and automake). Even just "automake" is documented to handle "libtoolize" automatically: http://www.sourceware.org/autobook/autobook/autobook_279.html The less you do explicitly, the less your tools are fragile towards novel systems.
Murrine is not under active development anymore and had its last code changes in 2012. Its codebase has been archived: https://gitlab.gnome.org/Archive/murrine/commits/master Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping to reflect reality. Please feel free to reopen this ticket (or rather transfer the project to GNOME Gitlab, as GNOME Bugzilla is deprecated) if anyone takes the responsibility for active development again.
