Oh dear..

If you haven't done so, try running "make reconfig" before the start of
the build. This is needed if the build infrastructure is changed.

Assuming you already did this, or it still doesn't work, can you post
the build logs and any error messages from the failure please, so we can
try to debug the problem.

Specifically, lets work on libgeda manually. What is the output of:

cd libgeda
./autogen.sh

Where is intltool installed on the path? Is automake / aclocal able to
find the intltool.m4


PS. I take bets that the icons / mime-registrations won't be found on
OS-X. Do you happen to know how those are done? If its not too tricky,
we might be able to add it to the build.

Best wishes,
