libosmium➟ make install
install -m 755 -g root -o root -d /usr/include
install: root: Invalid argument
make: *** [install] Error 67

Seems that this is the issue that blocks installing currently on OSX

Is 'wheel' the group with id 0 on Mac? Is 'wheel' the group things are normally installed under on Mac?

We could use "-g 0" then to do the install with whatever group has id 0. On Linux systems that is root.

Yes, looks like wheel is the default for BSD systems https://github.com/weiss/original-bsd/blame/master/etc/group

Makefile: fix MANDIR, fix for macOS
d7a9033 
- MANDIR was not a directory before; now it is

- macOS has no "root" group, and -g/-o are rarely needed anyway

  - hat tip to osmcode/libosmium#18

- fairly-recent macOS (Mojave) still does not have 'install -D' so do
  'install -d' explicitly for the parent directories, particularly for
  'man8', since that probably won't exist in most people's
  /usr/local/share/man to begin with
