need to compile the source with linux commands

[Alexandre Desplanques]

Hi I developped a plugin for mozilla following the visual studio
howto on decribed on the page
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/plugins/.
Now I would like to port my plugin under linux.
On the
http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/modules/plugin/samples/default/unix/ page I found a default plugin source with makefile. I tryed to compile it using the compilation commands such as aclocal, ... but no good result. So my question is how to use the makefile diffused on the site ? I can use gcc and make or any opensource environement developpement you may suggest.
I'm asking it because I found no linux howto for the compilation
of the source as there is one for visual studio.
Thank's for help showing me the complete sequence of any command
to use to compile a source diffused on the mozilla dev plugin
site.
