Do I have to install XML::Parser first? If so, how is this done on macOS?

Hi,

I don’t know much about macOS, but this travis.yml file allows to at least begin the compilation of aravis master (compilation fails on an obscur issue I have still to debug). I guess there is something wrong with your installation of intltool. Did you use homebrew ?

Emmanuel.
