Comment (by skycrawl@…):

 I just successfully built and installed v9.0.0 locally, including the new
 GUI. Although there were some issues, it was rather simple following the
 github repo guide:
 https://github.com/mbunkus/mkvtoolnix/tree/release-9.0.0#2-installation

 Simply install the listed dependencies with MacPorts, except for:
 1. Compliant compiler is already present in the system.
 2. A Ruby package needs to be installed (e.g. ruby23) and `ruby_select` to
 alias `ruby23` as `ruby`. Drake doesn't impose version limitation on Ruby
 it seems (https://rubygems.org/gems/drake/versions/0.9.2.0.3.1).
 MKVToolnix comes with `drake` so no need to install it.
 3. I installed Qt with MacPorts: `sudo port install qt5`.
 4. `libFlac` dependency can be satisfied with: `sudo port install flac`.
 5. `libCurl` dependency can be satisfied with: `sudo port install curl`.
 Maybe also `curl-ca-bundle` (not sure) - depends on the update site's
 situation regarding HTTPS. I have it installed too.
 6. No need to build libEBML and libMatroska (MacPorts does that for us).

 Also, the later steps complained about missing `libiconv` for some reason,
 so:[[BR]]
 `sudo port install libiconv`

 And then simply:
 1. Cd to the distro (make sure to have `autoconf` installed).
 2. Execute: `./autogen.sh`
 3. Temporarily link the environment with QT5:
 `PATH=/opt/local/libexec/qt5/bin:$PATH`. This was by far the worst part
 for me to figure out. There are a number of other official options but
 they didn't work and `configure` didn't find the QT distro. The PATH
 alteration is not listed anywhere and I simply tried it to make sure...
 lucky for me, it worked.
 4. Now on to configure in cooperation with MacPorts: `./configure --with-
 extra-libs=/opt/local/lib --with-extra-includes=/opt/local/include`.
 5. Execute: `./drake`.
 6. Execute: `./drake install`. This apparently installs to
 `/usr/local/bin/`, you'll probably want to change `prefix` in step 4.

 Then, it should only be a matter of making this work as a MacPorts
 package:
 1. `+gui` variant (probably). Simply build a Mac app around the
 `/usr/local/bin/mkvtoolnix-gui` command (Script Editor), maybe handle icon
 etc. Then link the app to `/Applications`.
 2. Requiring and using `ruby_select` might be a problem for some users
 that prefer other Ruby distro somewhere on the system.

 Hope I didn't forget anything and that it helps :).
