I'm very new to the mac, but have some linux experience. So, my question is it safe to build this and how do I know what is and is not safe to build.

Thanks!
 
For starters, OS X doesn't come with the make command. You'll have to install the command-line tools from Apple's Xcode software.

Beyond that, the test is simply whether it compiles. If not, it doesn't work. If so, it does.
