Ditto here. Looks like a good tool (or would be), but ultimately completely useless if it can't be built and no precompiled binary is offered. It's a shame that this project is not properly set up, as it would have been a neat Swiss Army Knife for Mac administrators, but unfortunately it simply isn't. After messing around doing exactly what the instructions say - and it completely failing - I have to move on because I can't waste time screwing around with something that's broken. Since the default browser is 90% of what I want to do, I'm going with "defaultbrowser" instead. It's a one-trick pony, but at least it works. https://github.com/kerma/defaultbrowser/

Whoa there! Dial down the sense of entitlement, please. No doubt a precompiled binary would be convenient. I'll get to that when I have time. In the meantime, there is a homebrew recipe for duti:

So you can just "brew install duti" and be done.

The solution is to run autoconf first:

autoconf ./configure make
