Sorry Michael, I just saw your msg.

Assuming you have your linden folder somewhere like

/Users/michael/secondlife/linden

then, applying patches on OS X is pretty much like any average Un*x machine:

$ cd /Users/michael/secondlife
$ patch -p0 < ./patches/ll-flycam-osx.patch

Now, my patch relies on a library. The zip file includes Windoze + Mac OS X
builds and the header file of the library (source is included too if you
care) relatively placed in a linden folder. You just have to copy the linden
folder included in the zip to your SL root:

cp -R <path2zip>/linden /Users/michael/secondlife

Finally, add the library binary you just copied to Xcode (newview target)

Then rebuild.

Ps.
I used the 1.18.3.5 branch from svn.
