I am really confused. This time I tried to make, the error I got is: cc -c -O2 -Olimit 2000 -w main.c cc: 2000: No such file or directory cc1: error: invalid option argument `-Olimit' make: *** [main.o] Error 1 I can not remember what changes I did in these three days. I did not get the m4 error, but I searched filesystem for it and there is no file "m4". I placed the files http://ifile.it/sih7enp here . if some can compile it, I will very thankful.
