1.2.6 is from 2002.

The current documentation [1] can be found from the website.

If there is no need to build from source, you will probably be happier
using macports [2] or homebrew [3], which are community-run package
managers for macOS/OS X.

For homebrew, because Heimdal Kerberos comes with the OS, MIT Kerberos
is considered a "dupe" according to it's policies. You must tap
homebrew/dupes in order to install krb5, and then force "linking" the
package to use it (that is, your PATH will have /usr/local/bin and
therefore the linked krb5 supercede where system Heimdal Kerberos is).

    $ # install homebrew following the instructions on their website
    $ brew tap homebrew/dupes
    $ brew install krb5
    $ brew link krb5 --force

I have little experience using macports, so will let someone else
throw in their 2c about it.
