Hey Greicy,

I haven't yet tried to build your front-end on Linux, but I possibly
discovered your root cause ...

After extracting your archive, I got this content

andi@randazzo:~/Documents/hello-world$ ls -l
total 32
[... omitting some output ...]
-rw-r--r-- 1 andi andi 2694 2010-01-11 06:22 Make-lang.in.txt    <-- !!!

>>> And the file Make-lang.in is there in /hello-world (this is my front

Apparently not ... it seems that you got tricked by Windows and it's fancy 
feature to hide commonly known file extensions like e.g. *.txt.

IIRC, you could change this setting via the directory settings (or at 
least ask your favourite search engine)

I would suggest you first try changing the file name to Make-lang.in 
before I try to reproduce your error on Linux ...

Cheers,
Andi
