Ok, Im confused. Im not a vetrin GNU developer. What are automake and 
aoutoconf. I don't know the syntax for Makefiles ether. I just use progen 
and tmake to get my makefiles. I guess ill have to do some reading...

I think this is going to be a mess. ./confgiure gets its settings from the 
host not from the Zaurus. How should I go about getting this to work?
Im lost when it comes to the make utility. Can you recoment a place were I 
can learn more about it?

If I can get it working.
