You should be okay just to run "autoconf" in the goanna directory.
I usually run configure with options something like --with-nanox --with-nanox-includes=/work/devel/microwin/src/include --with-nanox-libraries=/work/deve/microwin/lib.
Obviously, you will need to replace my paths with the path to wherever your microwin
directory is.
Hope this helps.
