[QUOTE="mac57, post: 421856, member: 17052"] gcc is what you need - I have compiled and built lots of Linux programs to run on my Mac over the last year. Sounds like you have a very non standard set of software there though, with no configure file and no Makefile. I am not sure that this forum is going to be able to help too much. Make sure you have gcc and X11 installed, and after that, you are going to have to slog your way through the process of getting it compiled just like you would on Linux if it didn't have a configure and Makefile. BTW, can you compile and run this successfully on a Linux box? That might be a really good place to start! Once you have the kinks worked out there, getting it to work on a Mac should be easier.
