Bug Description

The aclocal file distributed with intltool assumes GNU make syntax. Please add BSD make support.
In particular, this is one of the problems:

%.foo: %.bar
  ...rule

This syntax is only supported by GNU make. A portable version of that would be:

SUFFIXES = .foo .bar

.foo.bar:
  ...rule

Likewise:

$(wildcard *.whatever)

is a GNU-ism, but that can simply be replaced with:

*.whatever
