thank you.
I'll try that.

But why is there also a Makefile.in file in that folder together with
the 4 .erl files?
Usually Makefile.in is for gcc
does this mean I can just run 'make'?

To be honest:

I do not know why there is a Makefile.in, but I am sure others will know.
I think I tried make but it told me there were no targets (propably because
its a Makefile.in and not a complete Makefile) so I just built the modules
one by one.

A hint in the documentation might indeed be helpful here Wink
As it comes to documentation: Is there some sort of Developer-Documentation?
I would really like to productively participate in this project, so some kind
of "how-thing-work" document apart from the code would be very useful,
especially for people just starting on Erlang Wink

Are you sure there is no configure script? configure.in? Any other .in
files? What happens is that the .in file is used by the autoconf set of
of tools to produce the required files. So Makefile.in will be used to
generate Makefile, this usually happens when you run ./configure, which
is why I find it really peculiar that there is no configure script.

Actually, it's probably assumed that you know the above, but I suspect
somebody forgot to include the configure script, or as you say, a hint
in the docs Smile.
