I downloaded the Makefile from the same site [1]. I changed CC to gcc (not sure if necessary) then just ran "make jarijyrki". The relevant build command makes it clear why your compile command fails. ${CC} ${X11CCFLAGS} ${CFLAGS} -DNeedFunctionPrototypes \ -DU=40 -DT=98 '-Dz=(T+1)*U*U' -DQ=80 -DS=20 -DN=10 -DB=5 -DG=23 \ -Dp=7 '-DM=((p+1)*Q)+S' '-DH=(G*S)+S+S' -DC=XK_Up -DL=XK_Down \ -DO=XK_Left -DV=XK_Right -DR=XK_Escape -D_=XK_BackSpace \ $? -o $@ ${X11LDFLAGS} -lX11 I guess there was a limitation on the length on the compilation command too and the winner made use of it fully. You have to run it as "./jarijyrki < sheet1.info > myedits.info", sheet1.info is in the same site[2].
