I am unfortunately also not a developer, nor am I a Mac user, so I'm 
afraid I can't be of much help in regards to compiling there. You 
might have some luck on the mulberry-dev list though, where 
compilation issues are semi-frequently discussed, or possibly by 
searching the archives there.

After Cyrus' latest changes earlier this year (targeted at Mac), I 
suspect the most recent version (though possibly missing some 
patches) might be the upstream SVN one. Though as Bernie Maier 
mentioned, Martin Dietze's efforts might also be of help:

I have tried and so far failed to get CardDAV working in Linux 
(4.1.0a3). I get no client-side error messages, and seem to be able 
to successfully save contacts to the server, but I haven't been able 
to get Mulberry to read contacts from the server - the address book 
simply appears empty. Server-side I've tried Google Contacts, 
ownCloud and IceWarp, all with the same result. This is probably not 
what you wanted to hear, but I'm posting this anyway in the hopes 
that someone else might have had more luck than me, and can share any 
tips.

FWIW CalDAV is in my experience working well against all three 
servers mentioned above, albeit with a few UI bugs and quirks. I've 
also found the Contacts app in Mac OS X to work flawlessly with 
CardDAV servers, if that's any help.
