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

configure: error:

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!
