You'll need to run:
autoreconf -i
in the source directory, which should produce the configure script.
There's a note about in the documentation, but I'll make it a bit
clearer (assuming people use google for installation instructions).
This does require you to have autotools (autoconf, automake..)
installed; however, if you run 'brew' on mac-os, you should probably
have that already.

It's a matter of dependencies, I think. If you have GTK+3.x and
webkitgtk-3.0 for that, it could work on MacOS, too. However, the latter
doesn't seem available through e.g. brew, and installing it yourself my
be a bit tedious.
Kind regards,
Dirk.
