How to build audacity app source code for Mac OS X

I downloaded the audacity source code from http://code.google.com/p/audacity/downloads/detail?name=audacity-fullsrc-1.3.13-beta.tar.bz2&can=2&q=

I have to build my app on Mac OS X 10.6 & for Xcode 3.2.5.

I tried by following the steps from 'compile.txt' file in audacitysourceCodeFolder/mac/

But no success.

Can anyone please help me out in installing this. As I need to study the waveform generation code for a compressed file.
