Yes, that's what I'm going to attempt... to learn how to attempt to at least this weekend. I went through a number of MAKE tutorials so that I can figure out what is going. The problem is that this needs to be a cross compile. Should be fun. My Mono enlightenment has moved up a little bit =) Might have to bother you again later, thanks again Jonathan.
