% lipo -info libetpan.a
fatal error: /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/lipo: can't
open input file: libetpan.a (No such file or directory)

I tried --disable-libetpan flag and it shut me down later with
x11/tomboykeybinder.c:9:10: fatal error: 'gdk/gdkx.h' file not found
#include <gdk/gdkx.h>
         ^~~~~~~~~~~~
1 error generated.

That was in the notification plugin. So I disabled it. Same missing
file in a couple of others, all disabled.

At the moment, I believe I have managed to compile Claws-Mail with the
following:
./autogen.sh --disable-libetpan --disable-archive-plugin
--disable-dillo-plugin --disable-notification-plugin
--disable-pdf_viewer-plugin

Missing dependencies cause 7 to be disabled:
1. fancy
2. gdata
3. litehtml_viewer
4. perl
5. python
6. tnef_parse
7. vcalendar

I only need fancy from these to be functional to be honest. And I
cannot figure out how to fix:
WARNING: "Plugin fancy will not be built; missing libwebkit-1.0 "
