help set up development environment?

I think I have what it takes to start trying to compile a few programs. I have Debian Testing, I just made a debian image and was able to chroot into it and apt-get update. I found some information about cross-compiling?? but I don't understand the basic steps to end up with a package for a different arch (compiling for armel instead of i386).

I found a cool program(s) that has a lot of games that *might* work with some effort on a kindle:
http://gtkboard.sourceforge.net/indexold.html

edit: this package is already in the debian arm repo! I will install it to one of my images and try it, but I would still like to know how this is done? what would I normally pass to the compile script?

I have the package uncompressed uncompressed on my hostpc ready to configure && make, but I'm just not sure of a commandline? what do I have to pass to the compiler?

Would it be easier overall to just do a full debian arm install in a qemu image? I could have all the development tools there..??

What do the mighty wizards on here do?
