Building on an IMac Intel

Recently tried to build libxvidcore.a on an IMac Intel.  The 'has no  
symbols' message appears, which to my limited knowledge indicates I  
cannot import the library elsewhere.    I am trying to build a xvid  
quicktime component which relies on this http://n.ethz.ch/student/ 
naegelic/ .

Has anyone had any luck with this?
