The makefile will work for other distros.  I use it with gentoo.

Just set DISTRO empty here.  As long as your system has the required
prerequisites, or as long as you setup the makefile itself to pull them
down and build them, it should work

# What distro you use, for checking that all prerequisite packages for a
# successful build are installed.  The currently supported distros are
# listed in the DISTROS variable below.
# If yours is not one of these, set this to empty and take your
# chances!
