Looking at the manpage of make as we speak. manpage? .. hmm.. make manpage may or may not help without knowledge of C and what the makefile is actually doing you're not going to get any useful info there... (sorry - but this port requires patches - which I have converted the original to newer/individual format (separate in files/*) and that's not easy unless you know what you are doing in C.) I'll continue along as far as I can and if it's only testing on a compatible version of the OS, I'll send a patch for you to try (though if it doesn't patch immediately you will have issues.)
