The FBtoC team is interested in well-founded suggestions for enhancements and bug fixes.
The source folder contains two aliases (build_goodies and Headers). Before attempting to build FBtoC you should fix or replace both aliases so that they point to folders of the same name in the current release package (e.g. FB_5_3_Package). The normal way to build a new version of FBtoC is to open the project file FBtoC.proj in the FutureBasic 5 editor, and choose Command > Run. This uses the current release of FBtoC to build the new one. OS X 10.5 is required, and you should set Max OS features in Preferences settings to 10.5. It is possible to build on 10.4, if you comment out the call to CSBackupSetItemExcluded() in ExcludeBuildFolderFromTimeMachineBackup().
