Hello, i can't quite understand how to compile this project i tried make command with the makefile.am as input but it tried to use some file in the lol folder which is empty

It uses git submodules. You will need to retrieve the submodules using your Git client. If you are using the command line:

git submodule update --init --recursive

thanks you for your answer, managed to download the whole lol directory using the command but using make -f Makefile.am
in the lolremez directory still gives me Makefile.am:2: /lol/build/autotools/common.am: No such file or directory make: *** No rule to make target '/lol/build/autotools/common.am'. Stop.

i'm sorry i'm a complete newcommer to command line compilation

You need to first run ./bootstrap and ./configure before make.

I have now added build instructions to the README.md!
