      <pre>Hello all,

I have been looking through all the online documentation I can find, but
still unsuccessful at compiling simple external (hello world example).
I have looked through all the OSX/Windows docs to try and figure out what
configuration my make file should have, but no luck.
Needless to say I&#39;m a n00b to creating my own makefiles.. any help is
greatly appreciated!

Thanks
JZ
