OS-X support?

[Charles Sprickman]

Hi all,

There's really only one GUI silc client out there that's native, and 
that's Colloquy.  Sadly, as of late it's been buggy as hell, to the point 
that it's not usable.

So I'm trying to build silc-client to use until they get that fixed.

So far I've found both macports and fink have very outdated versions that 
don't seem to build under 10.4.  So that leaves me with trying to build 
from source.

Build fails right here:

Any hints?  I know that OS-X is not an officially supported platform, but 
we really need at least one working/current silc client...

If necessary, I can temporarily setup an account on a machine here for any 
interested developer.

Thanks,

Charles
