Thanks, that part worked well

Makefile.in was missing so I had to generate it (but for that I had to 
copy
ltmain.sh from libtool)

Also, I had to fix a couple of dependencies from macports (such as 
guile)

And finally now, I'm hitting this problem:
checking usb.h usability... yes
checking usb.h presence... yes
checking for usb.h... yes
checking for library containing usb_bulk_write... no
USRP requires libusb. usb_bulk_write not found. See http://libusb.sf.net
Unable to configure USB dependency.

I think I had the same issue long time ago under 10.4, but I can't 
remember
how I fixed it.

Any clue?
