Compiling and running UNIX based code on Mac OSX

Is there anyway to execute/run unix/linux executable on a mac (10.6)? Specifically, i'm trying to run this:

http://www.cs.ubc.ca/~kevinlb/CATS/

I have Xcode SDK/gcc/g++, but the source provided on this website is not compiling/executing on my mac (os x 10.6). That's where i need help.

Thanking in anticipation.

Edit: "make -j16" produces following results: Console Output - 1 Console Output - 2

I've just compiled this on my Mac.

wget http://www.cs.ubc.ca/~kevinlb/CATS/CATS20source.tgz
tar zxvf CATS20source.tgz

In lp_solve_4.0/lpglob.h I had to change the declaration of extern size_t yyleng; (was int).

make -j16

And then...

 ./cats -help | head
CATS v2.1 (http://robotics.stanford.edu/CATS)
Kevin Leyton-Brown, Mark Pearson, Galen Andrew, Yoav Shoham; Stanford University
=================================================================================

What follows are the general parameters for CATS.
To see parameters for a specific distribution, select a distribution with -help

Required Parameters (no default values):
  -d [no default]: selects a distribution.  Valid options (without quotes) are:
     "arbitrary"; "arbitrary-npv"; "arbitrary-upv"; "matching"; "paths"; "regions";

Update

This was with GCC v4.0.1.

To build with GCC v4.2.1, I had to add: 

 #include <assert.h>

... to Legacy.cpp, Param.cpp and featureCalc.cpp, to fix compilation errors.

There are also a load of warnings that should be fixed and a patch sent to the maintainer.

Of course : Mac OS X is an Unix system. You need to install XCode SDK that contains (in many other things) GCC 4.2 and make. After that, if you need a more complete Unix environment, you can look at MacPorts.

Yes, just download the source tar/zip and run make in the source directory. This assumes you have a C++ compiler and make installed.
