Usually failure to build from source (FTBFS) affects multiple distributions
as well
as Apple open-source projects (macports, homebrew).  A bit of searching
should
tell you if the package is available in other distributions (debian is
usually a good
place to start).   The look in the source packages for patches that fix
your issue.

I've been in a similar bind many times.  You need to determine whether FTBFS
has a simple fix (which you may be able to steal from another distro) or
will need
a major effort, in which case you should consider alternatives to the
failing
application.
