Thanks a lot for your comment here.
Yes my sources are from the same author, but before it published them on github, in fact my port is about an old revision (my latest build is 1.01), anyway i didn’t made any changes on the sources but only on the makefile adapting to my Pandora ARM toolchain.
If you want to take a look at it, please download the PND file here http://repo.openpandora.org/?page=detail&app=fasttracker2clone, you could open and explore/extract it with 7Zip (for example).
