     - If your operating system does not support fcntl-style locking on
       device files, you may want to add -DNODEVLOCKS to the DEFINES. Keep
       in mind, without locking support a volume can be corrupted by these
       tools if two or more processes manipulate it at the same time.

So just edit the Makefile and add -DNODEVLOCKS to the "DEFINES =" line,
and it'll work fine :) ('cept for reading HFS CDs... :( )
