Hello,
I have created an instruction guide for building freesurfer on OSX platforms. This guide is applicable for OSX 10.6, 10.7, and 10.8. Unfortunately I have not yet been able to successfully build on the latest version of OSX (Mavericks) due to changes in the most recent version of the gcc compiler. I will update the guide once I get that working.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions or to provide any feedback on how to make the instruction set more complete and/or easy to understand.
Luke,
Getting openmp to work with the Mac build would probably require either modifying the "OpenMP" section of the configure.in script to check for gcc 4.2 (instead of 4.4) or simply using gcc 4.4 or greater on the Mac. I have not tried enabling openmp on the mac build yet so I cant be any more specific than that.

I do not have any information to give in regards to when a new release would be available. Compiling freesurfer from source is not exactly something I would call "fun". That said, I have been working on a brief "how-to-guide" on how to build freesurfer on Mac OSX and I have already packaged the 3rd party libraries into a single bundle.
I plan on releasing this guide next week and I will email it to you. Once you have it, compiling should be fairly straight forward.
If you dont hear from me by next week feel free to ping me.

Hi Zeke!
Thanks a lot for the response. Better a late response than none :o)! Do you have any vague estimate when a new release will be available? So far I did not try to compile it from the sources, because it is not my daily business and for an inexperienced it most likely ends up with pure frustration. If a new release would be close, I would definitely keep my fingers from compiling ... Or are any "how to's" available for compiling FS from the sources...?
Best wishes,
Luke
