      Read the readme.txt file.  It will answer both your questions. There is no confgure and the DWGdirect libraries are not what you need.   I have posted the pertinent info here from the readme.txt:

      Library files

      You must have the QT *development* libraries 3.0.5 (or newer) installed
      plus the OpenDWG Linux library files /ad2.a/ and /ad3.a/. There are
      several OpenDWG header files which we have modified and provide. These
      files have the same name as the header files you will get from OpenDWG.
      It is important that you use our headers, not the ones from OpenDWG.

      OpenDWG has several libraries available. LX-Viewer is built using the
      old C libraries, now known on the OD web site as "Legacy" libraries.
      Using these libraries we can open and save any drawing version from 2.5
      to 2000. LX-Viewer is not compatible with the new "DrawingDirect"
      libraries and will not work with them.

          2.3 Compilation, Installation and Running

            Introduction

      Once you have obtained the OpenDWG libraries and the tar.gz file
      containing LX-Viewer from SourceForge you are ready to begin.
      Installation *must* be done using the Root account. First step is to
      extract the tar.gz file into a temporary working directory. The name of
      this directory is not important and it can be deleted when the
      installation is complete.

      The second step is to locate the files /ad2.a/ and /ad3.a/ in your
      OpenDWG downloads. The file /ad2.a/ is in the /Toolkit/ download and the
      file /ad3.a/ is in the /Viewkit/ download. Once you have located these
      files copy them into the OpenDWG directory that will be created inside
      your working directory when you extract the tar.gz file. You do not need
      any of the other files that came with the download from OpenDWG, and in
      fact using some of these files (especially odio.h) will cause LX-Viewer
      to not work. Once these steps have been done you are ready to build
      LX-Viewer.

            Building

      In order to compile and install Viewer on your system, use a console
      window and navigate to the working directory. Then type the following:

      % qmake -o makefile lxv.pro
      % make
      % make install

      The first step creates a make file and executes very quickly. The second
      step compiles and builds the files and takes a bit of time. The last
      step copies the newly built files to the proper directories and again
      executes very quickly. Once the third step is done the temporary
      directory can be deleted if you wish.

      Since LX-Viewer uses /qmake/ you should have not trouble compiling it.
      Should you run into problems please report them to the project team at:
