Trying to compile thttpd 2.27 on Mac OS X 10.11 I'm trying to compile thttpd 2.27 on Mac OS X 10.11 from source, but when I issue: 

./configure


It shows:

creating cache ./config.cache
checking host system type... configure: error: can not guess host type; you must specify one


I try to search online, someone said I should copy some files from /usr/share/libtool/config* but the path does not exist in Mac OS X 10.11.

How can I resolve this problem?

p.s. I have Xcode (with Command Line Tools), Homebrew, libtool, automake  and other build tools installed, but I still can't configure &amp; compile this.
You have at least two options:


Install MacPorts. Install thttpd with this command:

sudo port install thttpd


I am not using MacPorts and this is untested.
Download config.sub.diff and config.guess.diff and put them into thttpd source directory. Execute these commands to patch the config files:

patch -R &lt; config.sub.diff
patch -R &lt; config.guess.diff
./configure
make


It will compile the source. You may now consider to install compiled binary.
