How I run Xtank?

Hi:
The game Xtank was released for X-windows systems in the early 90's. Being 24+ years old it does not run on modern systems. Does anyone know how to get it to work? I tired building the code even in a virtual machine but that did not work.(there are syntax error in the make file). Any ideas? Does anyone know where I can find Red Hat 5.2 binaries?
