Aidan,
It's a known problem that the Project files for the Macintosh
are very much out of date.
Also, note that we are not using the Project files to create the
CFM libraries anymore. Now what we do is we use MPW makefiles, since
it's much easier to keep them in sync with the Unix makefiles. What
happens is on a Unix machine, you run the command
make -f Makefile.in kerbsrc.mac.tar
This generates a tar file which can then be unpacked on a Macintosh (you
need a Macintosh tar program, obviously). The tar file contains an mpw
makefile, which can be used to compile the libraries. Once you have the
libraries compiled, then it's relatively easy to fix the project files
for the applications to build the applications.
I hope this helps at least with the build problems!
Unfortunately we haven't had as much resources looking at the Macintosh
side of things, so it's there right now the Macintosh krb5 port
admittedly doesn't compare well with the Windows port...
