yep. You just run "./configure" from the root of x264's source tree, than
"make" from the same directory.

I can tell you right now that I will not commit that patch that adds an
Xcode project file to x264. The reason is simple: there's a perfectly
working build system for MacOSX.

The reason why there's a separate build system for Windows is because it
doesn't support makefile-based build system by default (unlike OSX or most
Unices).
