I would like to get this program running on OS X:

Now the question is where do I start? Is there a cookbook someplace
listing the steps one needs to take to do this "porting?" Tutorials?
Recommendations on a good book? Any help pointing me in the right
direction will be greatly appreciated. First step is to get it running
from the terminal; integrating with a Cocoa application comes later.
Thanks all.
You need to learn the basics of the "configure" and "make" systems.
Basic UNIX programming. I'm sure there are books on that subject.
Then there are often problems related to headers, like on OS X
#include <malloc.h>
has to be
#include <sys/malloc.h>
And you also often will need to add <sys/types.h> to many files as well.
Et cetera.
Also check out the Fink and gnu-darwin porting guides:
