+Refer to the readme.txt and install.txt files in docs/mac to build

+
+If you are checking out the CVS sources using cvs under Mac OS X and
+compiling under Classic Mac OS:
+
+- make sure that all text files have a Mac OS type of 'TEXT' otherwise
+  CodeWarrior may ignore them. Checking out the CVS sources using cvs
+  under Mac OS X creates untyped files which can lead to compilation
+  errors under CodeWarrior which are hard to track down.
+
+- convert the xml files to CodeWarrior binary projects using the supplied
+  AppleScript in docs/mac (M5xml2mcp.applescript for CodeWarrior 5.3)
+
+V) MacOS X using configure and the Developer Tools

 ----------------------------------------
 
 ----------------------------------------
 

+You need to have the Developer Tools installed. If this is not the case,
+you will need to register at the Apple Developer web site (this is a free
+registration) in order to download the Developer Tools installer.
+
+In order to create configure, you need to have the
+GNU autoconf package (version 2.13 or 2.14) installed
+on your system and type run "autoconf" in the base
+directory (or run the autogen.sh script in the same
+directory, which just calls autoconf).
