How do I build this source code?

I've got make installed and ready to execute the makefile but make cannot find any targets so the makefile.in and the makefile.am is not a makefile I think but what command do I need to put in i'm ready i've got all the hard stuff installed and ready.... Please somebody help me with this please...

All I have to do is use call the source directory and use the dir to unpack the files so my question is there is no makefile just makefile.in or makefile.am so gnumake can not target those makefiles so what do I need to do here....

Alright i will try it and let you know

Hey this is what i get when i configure it now

loading cache ./config.cache
checking for a BSD compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c

configure: error: *** SDL version 1.0.1 not found!

So how do I do this sdl thing...

Okay I got the mingw 1.0.1 version of sdl but whats odd I get this issue now I went to my advance system settings and went to the enviroment varibles and set the path to the sdl-config file but when I configure I get this issue my log below

*** Could not run SDL test program, checking why...

configure: error: *** SDL version 1.0.1 not found!

Can you give me an example Please

Do I need to quote it in the enviroment varibles path or in the sdl-config file or nether Please help....

in the sdl-config file which line of code am i looking for to add the path with double quotes

#!/bin/sh

prefix=/usr/local/cross-tools/i386-mingw32
exec_prefix=${prefix}
exec_prefix_set=no

usage="\
Usage: sdl-config [--prefix[=DIR]] [--exec-prefix[=DIR]] [--version] [--libs] [--cflags]"

if test $# -eq 0; then
echo "${usage}" 1>&2
exit 1
fi

while test $# -gt 0; do
case "$1" in
-*=*) optarg=`echo "$1" | sed 's/[-_a-zA-Z0-9]*=//'` ;;
*) optarg= ;;
esac

case $1 in
--prefix=*)
prefix=$optarg
if test $exec_prefix_set = no ; then
exec_prefix=$optarg
fi
;;
--prefix)
echo $prefix
;;
--exec-prefix=*)
exec_prefix=$optarg
exec_prefix_set=yes
;;
--exec-prefix)
echo $exec_prefix
;;

echo 1.0.0
;;
--cflags)
if test ${prefix}/include != /usr/include ; then
includes=-I${prefix}/include
fi
echo $includes -I{prefix}/include/SDL -Dmain=SDL_main
;;
--libs)
libdirs=-L${exec_prefix}/lib
echo $libdirs -lmingw32 -lSDLmain -lSDL -luser32 -lgdi32 -lwinmm -ldxguid -mwindows
;;
*)
echo "${usage}" 1>&2
exit 1
;;
esac
shift
done

This is what my config.log mabe this will help you further to understand what i'm doing wrong

How do I do the configure.sh method because its not the enviroment varible section.. sorry to bother you so much but its kinda hard for me but i'm almost there.....please help

This is whats in my configure.in file mabe this will help more
