I'm attempting to run from the command line, but it seems to do so I'll also
need to install from the command line.

I'm running Mac OS X 10.13.6, Apple LLVM version 10.0.0 and XCode 10.1

For the freetype install you suggested I was able to get prebuild.sh to run
fine; I then tried the following compile options which ran through the ./compile
program:

../configure COMPILED_BY=Jake --disable-dependency-tracking --without-libsdl
--without-x --with-libfreetype=/usr/local/Cellar/freetype/2.9.1

This produced the following error:

checking for pkg-config... no
checking for OpenEXR's pkg-config... not found
configure: WARNING: all program features using the OpenEXR library are disabled
checking whether to use the FreeType library... yes
checking for pkg-config... no
checking for FreeType's include path... ./configure: line 11406: pkg-config:
command not found
checking for library containing FT_Init_FreeType... no
configure: error: cannot find a suitable FreeType library

I also tried removing the /2.9.1 and /freetype/2.9.1 parts of the above
../compile line after encountering the above error but I still received the same
error. I'm not sure why this is occuring as 'brew info freetype' gives the
install path as /usr/local/Cellar/freetype/2.9.1 and if I don't specify a path
to freetype I still encounter the above error.

As for this version, I can run the same configure command as above without the
freetype flag and the configure program runs with no issues; however, running
'make check' produces the following error:

This is followed by many more similar <stdin> warnings and then:

g++ -std=gnu++11 -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I..  -I../unix/povconfig -I..
-I../platform/unix -I../platform/x86 -I../unix -I../vfe -I../vfe/unix -pthread

-pthread -c -o backend/control/benchmark.o backend/control/benchmark.cpp


This then loops for too many times for me to count before eventually failing to
install.

If you have any ideas as to what could fix this I'd greatly appreciate it.

Thanks again for your help
