On MacOSX you need to build libpng & libiconv. Personally I install them
in /oss/abideps (or /Users/fjf/fjf, depending).

Next you should change to the abi directory and run autogen.sh, preferably
using bash, as in
/oss/bin/bash autogen.sh
though
./autogen.sh
*usually* works okay. You will, of course, need automake and it's best not
to get automake-1.5 because this has problems.
Then you need to configure. If you have autoconf-2.13 then
CPPFLAGS="-I/oss/abideps/include" LDFLAGS="-L/oss/abideps/lib" configure [OPTIONS]
should do the trick; personally I use autoconf-2.52 and bash always and
find it useful to do
export SHELL=/oss/bin/bash
export CONFIG_SHELL=/oss/bin/bash
/oss/bin/bash configure CPPFLAGS="-I/oss/abideps/include" LDFLAGS="-L/oss/abideps/lib
[OPTIONS]
In fact, since I build for XDarwin rather than Aqua, the last line is
PLATFORM=NetBSD /oss/bin/bash configure CPPFLAGS="-I/oss/abideps/include"
LDFLAGS="-L/oss/abideps/lib [OPTIONS]
Whichever.
This will run configure in the peer directories: psiconv, expat, wv
and libpng should be found okay. 'make' should then build everything...

ps. Just use default system zlib.
