Hello -
I am a satisfied Mac user and an avid photographer; I use for the 
post-production of my pictures GIMP, namely the distribution (released by 
Simone Karin Lehmann) "GIMP on OS X", available under the URL 
http://sourceforge.net/projects/gimponosx .  This distribution comes with a 
pre-compiled gimp-ufraw plugin; loading a RAW picture in GIMP is handled in 
this way.  However "GIMP on OS X" lacks a standalone ufraw and ufraw-batch.  
Needing for my RAW pictures ufraw-batch, I compiled ufraw and ufraw-batch from 
the source code; however this is not completely described in the ufraw 
documentation.  Here is what I did.

For the compiler, you need to install Xcode (from the Apple Store, free) and 
the Xcode command line tools; how to do that is described in a lot of places, 
Google will help.

For the libraries, I have installed the ones supplied by the Macports projects:

          +--------------+--------------+---------+
          |              | Package      | Version |
          +--------------+--------------+---------+
          | LCMS         | lcms2        | 2.8     |
          | EXIV2        | exiv2        | 0.25    |
          | JPEG         | jpeg         | 9b      |
          | JPEG2000     | openjpeg     | 2.1.2   |
          | TIFF         | tiff         | 4.0.7   |
          | PNG          | libpng       | 1.6.28  |
          | ZIP          | zip          | 3.00    |
          | BZIP2        | bzip2        | 1.0.6   |
          | LENSFUN      | lensfun      | 0.3.2   |
          | CFITSIO      | cfitsio      | 3.390   |
          | GTKIMAGEVIEW | gtkimageview | 1.6.4   |
          +--------------+--------------+---------+

How to install them is described in the Macports home page, 
http://www.macports.org .

The Macports libraries are compiled with clang and clang++ as C and C++ 
compilers; while clang and gcc are fully compatible, and their object files 
linkable together, clang++ and g++ use different name mangling schemes; so, if 
you want e.g. exiv2 support (exiv2 is a C++ package) you need to change the 
default compilers.  So, finally, I unpacked, configured, compiled and installed 
ufraw/ufraw-batch with the following commands:

tar xzf ufraw-0.22.tar.gz
cd ufraw-0.22/
CC=clang CXX=clang++ CPPFLAGS=-I/opt/local/include \
    LDFLAGS=-L/opt/local/lib \
    ./configure --prefix=/opt/local/share/ufraw-0.22
make
sudo make install
sudo ln -s /opt/local/share/ufraw-0.22 /opt/local/share/ufraw
ln -s /opt/local/share/ufraw/bin/ufraw ~/Applications/ufraw
ln -s /opt/local/share/ufraw/bin/ufraw-batch ~/Applications/ufraw-batch
ln -s /opt/local/share/ufraw/share/man/man1/ufraw.1 ~/man/man1/ufraw.1

Notes:
- Macports include files are in /opt/local/include .
- Macports libraries are in /opt/local/lib .
- I installed ufraw in /opt/local/share/ufraw-0.22 , a directory soft-linked to 
/opt/local/share/ufraw ; when a new release will
  come, say 0.xy, it will be enough to install it in 
/opt/local/share/ufraw-0.xy and, then, change the soft link.
- The executables ufraw and ufraw-batch are soft-linked to ~/Applications, 
where OS X expects to find user executables.
- I have created ~/man/... for personal man files, and linked there ufraw.1, in 
order to have the output of "man ufraw".

HTH
