With the advent of Mac OS X I'm finding a wealth of open source unix projects to play with. To compile the sources, I usually do the standard: ./Configure, make, make install.

My question is this: How does one get these files into a buildable project builder project?

I mean I know how to add files to project builder, but how do I take into account the ./configure and such?

For example, right now, Im trying to "Project Builder-ify" iroffer by PMG located here: http://iroffer.org/archive/v1.2/beta/iroffer1.2b13.tgz

Well, firstly, why do you need to?
Secondly, Project Builder isn't exactly compatible with a build chain built on the gnu autotools. You can use makefiles with the "Legacy Makefile" target, or you can do the configuration manually (the point of configure is to check what facilities the OS provides for source which will run on multiple platforms - your PB project will only run on one, so you don't really need to test for the facilities using a script).
