Ok, I'm going to need a little of your help with this one.

First, I would like to point out that I'm trying to get a Mac Mini so I
can turn the Mac into a supported platform. It seems Apple has put a
hold on all Mac Minis in Israel, either through the official
distributers OR from private importers. If anyone has any idea how to
bypass this problem, please contact me (privately).

The error you get is the result of the following code:

...

It seems your build environment defines neither __unix__ nor _WIN32.
While I do understand the later, as far as my understanding goes, Posix
compiled Mac OS-X programs should just assume they are running on Unix.

Please let me know the following:
1. What build environment are you using? Is it gcc, or something else?
If so, what?
2. Do you know what predefined compiler declarations exist for said
build environment?
3. Are you trying to compile rsyncrypto as a posix or as a native (coca?
I don't even know the name) application. If the later, can you try again
as a Posix application?
4. Try to force-define the symbol __unix__, and see whether rsyncrypto
compiles fine, or whether other problems pop up as a result.

       Thanks,
             Shachar
