Your sources are NOT c ready--that's what the m4 macro processor is
needed for.  (and it has nothing to do with make).

You have several choices it seems to me:

1.  Install GNU m4.
2.  Have someone with m4 generate the *.c and *.h files for you.
3.  Manually look at what the macros are doing and make the
transformations yourself.

If you're going to continue to use GNU programs I suggest doing number
1 (best when done on a Linux or Unix system).  Get m4 here:

  <http://www.gnu.org/software/m4/m4.html>

Good luck.
