Well, I'm attempting to be considered a developer :) 

Good. I just wanted to point out the distinction and that, ideally, people don't need all the details from HB in order to build. The easier it is to build pd, the more can, and the more that can chip in to test and fix things.

Easiest way to do this is to use Homebrew. Once HB is installed:

    brew install autoconf automake libtool

yeah, I had HB, so I did it, tried this, and it all worked fine.

thanks for all your detailed help Dan, you're the best ;)

One other note is that if you want to build the translations, you need to install & link gettext:

    brew install gettext

    brew link gettext

When you run configure, you should see a line in the printout that says "localizations: yes" which confirms translations are being built.
