You need Macports (aka Darwinports) though Fink should work as well. Make sure you have GTK+ and boost installed. Its a strange build system with install.pl doing all the work. Just hack around making sure for ODE that you set PLATFORM=osx in "ode-0.5/config/user-settings". After its built everything should be in the "target" subfolder. The graphics front end won't work, because Macs don't support GLX version 1.3, but the backend simulator does run. If any of you feel comfortable hacking code you can get DPRSim compiled on Macs.
