Maybe somebody replied to you privately already? In any event,
/1/ unless you have good reason otherwise, get the current
version from
http://web.mit.edu/kerberos/dist/
/2/ this code uses autoconf. Before building, run "configure"
and let it generate Makefile's customized for your target platform.
First run "configure --help" to find other options you might
want to give to configure to match your local environment.
autoconf makes it possible to easily support far more platforms than
is possible with hand-customized makefiles. You will find very little
modern open source software today that comes with per-OS makefiles.
There are other ways to handle this, but autoconf is certainly
the most common choice.
