I did some searching around and found a build with 0.8 that runs on my Mac. It also may be possible to build the latest version with it, as he posted the makefile.

> Hi chaps, i successfully compiled Cataclysm 0.8 for Mac (since official release is broken), and put it as an App bundle (with SDL libs inside so you don’t have to do anything, just launch the app). By default it launches SDL version with tiles but you can modify this behaviour to launch ncurses version with terminal emulator (i recommend [iTerm2](http://www.iterm2.com) but default is Mac Terminal) if you edit [tt]Cataclysm.app/Contents/Resources/cataclysm-launcher[/tt] file, it has all instrucions inside! Enjoy! [cen…

I know it’s not the latest build or something, but it’s good enough, I’ll mark it as solved for now. If anyone finds a build of Danny that works for them, let me know. I’d love to try it.
