How do I configure and make cheat engine from source? I have the source, but it doesn't seem to come with a makefile.

Dragos240: You're using Linux?
On Linux I'm using make for compiling, but it won't work with CE I assume, because it's written in partly Delphi.

there's lazarus (just need to convert the delphi project to a lazarus project first and then fix a million small bugs and incompatibilities, and not to mention all windows specific api calls)

but if i where you I'd try using wine and delphi

As Dark Byte says, you can't use Windows APIs in Linux, such as the main APIs in Cheat Engine, WriteProcessMemory() and ReadProcessMemory().
You'd have to figure out another way, I think PTrace() might be useful.

A second note: Even if you run Cheat Engine in Wine, you won't be able to memory edit XServer apps.
