    Hello All.

    Download the source, installed the needed compiler may be via homebrew ditto any
    needed libraries including the -Dev ones if needed (see the building docs with binkd.

    Just that easy - ok, may be homebrew is a bit trickier.

    you might ask about that in the BINKD echo... i would hazard a guess that the code can be compiled for mac's *BSD-based OS... the real binkd gurus are over there in that echo, though ;)

    Yes, it has been done. You'll need the Mac build environment installed and I'm not sure how to do that

    There are source/docs and pre built binkd binaries for many platforms available at..

    I am sure it can be done. Ask the folks over in the BINKD echo.

    I finally got my version of BinkP working (loosely) on the MacOS, IPHone and IPAD.

    Install xcode, did you mean to say? ;-)
