Never tried on macOS, but this part should not be specific to any OS.
I assume you must have run autogen.sh?
It's that step where something went wrong, it runs automake which should create Makefile.in from Makefile.am

[rdoeffinger]

I tried on an ancient PowerPC based MacMini, and compilation worked fine.
Make sure that autogen.sh runs without errors, but otherwise without someone debugging how Makefile.in ended up missing all I can say is "works for me".

How to compile in ubuntu

It's the same commands everywhere (now added to README): ./autogen.sh && ./configure && make -j4

[japorized]

Rather late for a reply but I was able to compile for macOS (Big Sur, on x86), using exactly the same commands from the README.

Was missing a library locally but was able to get it from Homebrew.
