Libguestfs - Jul 2019 - Missing hivex.h error when compiling on macOS 10.14 (Mojave)

I am attempting to compile Hivex (v1.3.18) and am getting a
"handle.c:47:10: fatal error: 'hivex.h' file not found" error.
I see that hivex.h is not included in the source and I suspect it is created
during the configure phase. Full build log below. Any ideas of how this file is
created and why it wasn't created? I was able to compile it before on
earlier versions of macOS but it seems that something has changed (it has been
over a year since I last compiled it).

------------------------------------------------------------
Thank you for downloading hivex 1.3.18

This is how we have configured the optional components for you today:

-n OCaml bindings ...................... 
no
-n Perl bindings ....................... 
no
-n Python bindings ..................... 
no
-n Ruby bindings ....................... 
no

If any optional component is configured 'no' when you expected
'yes'
then you should check the preceeding messages.

Please report bugs back to the mailing list:
http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libguestfs

Next you should type 'make' to build the package,
then 'make check' to run the tests.

I see that hivex.h is not included in the source and I suspect it is created
during the configure phase. Full build log below. Any ideas of how this file is
created and why it wasn't created?
lib/hivex.h is generated by the OCaml generator, see
generator/generator.ml.  However, the files generated by that tool are
statically shipped in the release tarballs to avoid requiring OCaml to
build hivex.

It looks to me you are not building a release tarball -- perhaphs you
are building some autogenerated source tarball from github?  If so,
do not use them.
