These macros are defined in wxwin.m4, which should be installed by
wxWindows. If it isn't found by aclocal you can copy wxwin.m4 to the
macros directory.

I don't know why aclocal and autoconf haven't found the definitions of
the automake macros. Maybe there are some problems with your installation?

You don't have to run autogen.sh on the build platform. You can run
autogen.sh on Linux instead and copy the whole directory structure to
Mac OS X.
