Every time I've attempted to compile emelfm2 I keep getting this error. What would be the best way forward with this?

most probably it cannot be built with a modern compiler. It was abandoned 8 years ago.
But as usual without details hard to say anything. What OS is it, what compiler is it and actually what did you try to compile? Where is it from?

This is useless. pan64 was asking for the version of the compiler, and a link to the source you're trying to compile.
In any case, I just discovered that ArchLinux has it in [community]. This means there's a way to compile it for a modern system. Let's see... aah yes, here it is.
Looks like you will need the -fcommon CFLAG.

Okay! Didnt know arch had it in their repos...Ill try out their script. I was thinking he was asking if it was make or cmake, sorry. Gcc is 10.2.1 pre 1.3
Okay so I just pulled this command in terminal
CFLAGS+=' -fcommon' make>output.txt
resulting in the same output:

output.txt showed this message:

Okay I'm stupid but I figured it out thanks to a little bit of messing around and it works perfectly. All I needed to do was edit the makefile.config file and then under line 249 add a new line where all the cflags are listed put CFLAGS+= -fcommon . I think the main issue was that I needed to remove ' these ' around the word. Honestly was a shot in the wind but it worked perfectly. Thanks again!
