Unable to run configure for Mono Develop due to intltools

I downloaded the latest version of MonoDevelop Unity from Git. Prior to this I tried the same with the vanilla version of MonoDevelop from Git.

I have tried compiling MonoDevelop with the following: ./configure

I tried both including and not including all packages:

Select the packages to include in the build for the profile 'default':

1. [X] main
2. [X] extras/JavaBinding
3. [X] extras/ValaBinding
4. [X] extras/MonoDevelop.Database
5. [X] extras/MonoDevelop.Debugger.Gdb
6. [X] extras/PyBinding
7. [X] extras/MonoDevelop.MonoMac
8. [X] extras/MonoDevelop.MeeGo

I began to think to myself "This is going great!". Then came the roadblock:

Configuring package: main
-------------------------
Configuration options: 
Running aclocal  ...
Running automake --foreign  ...
Running autoconf ...
Running ./configure --enable-maintainer-mode --enable-compile-warnings --prefix=/usr/local ...
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for a thread-safe mkdir -p... ./install-sh -c -d
checking for gawk... no
checking for mawk... no
checking for nawk... no
checking for awk... awk
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
checking how to create a ustar tar archive... gnutar
checking whether to enable maintainer-specific portions of Makefiles... yes
checking for mono... /usr/bin/mono
checking for gmcs... /usr/bin/gmcs
checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config
checking for msgfmt... no
configure: error: You need to install msgfmt from intltool

I've tried my best in trying to manually install intltool, but I've experienced no luck in doing so.

How can this "configure error" be fixed? configure: error: You need to install msgfmt from intltool

It turns out I had to install gettext (via this answer).

If you're building MonoDevelop from source, you need the Mono MDK package, not the MRE package.

See http://monodevelop.com/Developers/Mac_Support/Building_MonoDevelop_on_OS_X

Not sure about Unity's version, they maintain an old fork and I have no idea what they've changed.
