Failure on make step #12334

I have installed prerequisites in MacOS, After I run command make It shows make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop. But It already exists file Makefile.in I run command make -f Makefile.in It shows Makefile.in:15: *** missing separator. Stop. I don't really have the idea. Pls help me.

I've found some problems in./configurestep.

Is Boost installed via brew?

Yeah, I've installed these prerequisites via brew.

This problem has been solved. I tried to run command./configure --with-boost="/usr/local/Homebrew/Cellar/boost/1.66.0 and It worked. It seems that the boost isn't suceessfully installed. But I had run the command brew install boost --c++11, and strangely boost appear on the brew list.

@fanquake thx for your care.
