Easiest is probably to use Xcode. I've been able to rebuild, and even make slight changes to, programs such as the sqlite shell using that. The nice thing is that it's a bit like a sausage machine. Pour the source in at one end and turn the handle, out pops an executable. No fiddling about at the command line using incomprehensible stuff like make. -- Cheers -- Tim
