I think the last versions of the Booter were built with CodeWarrior, 
which has the downside that project files are generally incompatible 
between versions. Make sure you have the matching one.

Alternatively, you can build with MPW (available on ftp.apple.com 
mirrors for free), which is slower, and wants to be run off a RAM disk. 
Feel free to ask any questions if you decide to go that way.

There are at least two cross build systems for "traditional" Mac 
applications, the gcc based <https://github.com/autc04/Retro68> and the 
MPW based <https://github.com/ksherlock/mpw> / 
<http://wanderingcoder.net/2015/01/30/mpw-on-mac-os-x/>. I have tried 
neither for lack of round tuits, but they sound intriguing.

I always meant to import the Booter sources to CVS... don't know how 
feasible that still is. You would tunnel through MacSSH (last updated 
2010), which may or may not use encryption algorithms still acceptable 
to current OpenSSH. Plus, with transition to Mercurial on the horizon, 
there is no VCS client on the Mac.

Cheerio,
