There's a piece of metal that is called
"End Wall" you attach it to the house and overlap the metal of the building. There's a foam gasket that is shaped like the metal that you stick to the roof under the end wall. Then use silicone caulk along the top edge of the end wall where it meets the house.

the eve from the roof of the house only. The main roof is sloped to the east and west, the utility porch roof attaches on the south side of the house against a flat wall. I don't think the metal roofing would be hard to install but I can't figure out how to attach it to the siding so that it doesn't leak. I thought about flashing but the roofing will be corrugated so it won't lay flush and I cant think of what else I can use.

There is a piece of wood you can get at the limber yerd that fits that corrugated material

Since aluminum is rather light, you might want to look into fasteners or screws, or rivets. It would, however, be best if you talked to a roofing expert or contractor for professional advice on the same.

The question is so convoluted in it's sentence structure that several possible interpretations arise and none are conclusive.
