Looks like you need javamake (Unless you already have it):

The make file wants it at /opt/java/javamake.jar


If it's still giving you trouble, you might want to download a linux JDK from
Sun (java.sun.com).  Install it (probably in /opt/java or /usr/local/java) and
then create an environmental variable $JAVA_HOME (this is pretty standard for
java development).  You can then set the "JPATH" parameter in the make file to
your $JAVA_HOME.

FYI: Sun's JDK is free, but not open source.

Even still, looks like you'll need that javamake.jar if you want to use this
make file.  Alternatively someone could write an ant script for it, but I
wouldn't have time to do that for a couple days.

Good luck.
