in thread OT, sort of: "make" on OSX

You can compile anything you wish without make, it just saves time and does it in the right order (lol if told to). For instance:
gcc -O2 -o zap2 zap2.c

So if you can read the Makefile you can do all the steps to make the program yourself -- it just automates the stops of compiling, linking, striping etc. (yes -- zap2 the utmp/last/who/w login hide hack tool from the 1992 wayback machine =)

    True indeed, but that's, well, evil.
