This appeals to me, too.

Got this bit working after generating an sdl file. But I think 
I'm missing something from this next approach:

It's been literally decades since I used a makefile. Did I miss 
the part where you the makefile was written/generated?

I'd also like to take this opportunity to express my deepest 
gratitude to all you guys for all this help. Getting back up and 
running in Linux has had its challenges and over the weekend, I 
admit I almost gave up after just trying to get a desktop sorted 
out. I won't bore you with off-topic details, but suffice to say, 
my Focusrite audio interface has a mind of its own.

But to wake up this morning to this outpouring of help made me 
feel tons better about it all. I have a build process [or five :) 
] now and all the discouragement of the weekend is draining away.

Thanks, guys! Seriously. Thank you.
