I'm a long time Linux user and am used to the "make" and "make install" 
commands to compile a program and have it installed into the appropriate 
directories. Now, my problem is, these basic tools do not seem to be 
built into Darwin or my version of MacOS 10.1.3. I've heard that Apple's 
Developer Tools has all that I need to compile programs from source and 
I also see that fink has all of the automake/autoconf programs listed in 
its matrix. Now my questions are:

Will the versions of automake/autoconf on fink supply what I need to 
compile my UNIX programs? (ie. parts of GNOME) Or do I absolutly need 
the DevTools stuff?

Will I be able to "make/make install" any old UNIX source package, or 
must it be BSD compatible?

thank you for any help,

      * antoni
