The BrickOwl/BrickLink synchronization software, BrickSync, is now open source! http://www.bricksync.net/
Restrictions related to registration have been removed from the 1.7.1 builds (sorry, can't build OSX binaries, I don't have access to an OSX box...).

The source code is written in C with GNUisms, therefore it will compile with GCC, mingw64, Clang or the Intel Compiler. The only dependency is OpenSSL for socket encryption. The source code includes a build-win64 subdirectory with headers and DLLs for OpenSSL on Windows; the code therefore will build with a plain freshly installed mingw64 (select x86-64 as target when installing mingw64, not i686).
Direct link to the mingw64 installer (mingw being the famous GCC compiler ported to Windows): https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/files/Toolchains targetting Win32/Personal Builds/mingw-builds/installer/mingw-w64-install.exe/download You'll have to edit the compile-win64.bat script to set the PATH environment variable to the /bin subdirectory of wherever you installed mingw64.
Happy building, and coding :)
