pcsc-lite does NOT support macOS. Apple provides its own version of PC/SC on macOS.

I have no idea why Homebrew provides a pcsc-lite build.

thank you for your answer, Ludovic.

If you really want to build pcsc-lite on macOS you should install autoconf-archive and run bootstrap again.

Also you should use meson now https://blog.apdu.fr/posts/2024/05/pcsc-lite-now-uses-meson-build-tool/
