Thanks for the help. After installing gnome-common 3.18.0, I ran ./autogen.sh. It says to run make. When I do it looks like the configure script runs over and over again in an infinite loop. I see "checking" a lot. Here is an example:

cd . && /bin/sh /Users/me/Desktop/libosinfo-master-c4d379042f57f0512ba3fb5fea2109acc941b460/build-aux/missing automake-1.15 --foreign

/bin/sh ./config.status --recheck
