Currently you need the Fink installed to build the OS X version from that 
tarball. There are some bits of glue that I haven't included in that version 
that are required if you want to build against the SDL framework (i.e. the 
version of SDL for OS X that is available at http://www.libsdl.org/). This 
will be fixed shortly.

A brief guide to building a version against SDL:

(BTW, you need the libsdl-dev Fink package installed  - and the libgtk-dev 
package if you want the Gtk GUI. I don't remember the precise package names 
off-hand.)

1) Unpack the tarball 
http://rcdrummond.net/uae/test/e-uae-0.8.27-CVS.tar.bz2

2) Open a terminal and CD to wherever you unpacked the source.

3) Enter :
./configure --with-sdl-gfx --with-sdl-sound

4) Enter:
make

5) Go have a cup of your favorite beverage while you wait for it to compile.

If you want to build it with SCSI emulation, this takes a bit more work.

What system are you running it on (CPU, OS X version, SDL version)?

Cheers,
