Did you follow these instructions from the docs/building.txt file?


Now go to golded3 and copy mygolded.__h to mygolded.h and adjust it for
yourself (put your name, FTN address and e-mail).

Exec 'make'. You may specify following parameters in the make call:

 "BUILD=minimal"   Compile Golded+ with support only most popular formats of
                   message bases (OPUS, Jam, Squish).

 "USE_NCURSES=0"   if you dislike curses library (Linux version requires to
                   use curses)

 "WIDE_NCURSES=1"  if it is needed to use wide characters with curses library

 "BUGGY_NCURSES=1" if Golded+ requires additional keypresses to pass areascan

 "KOI8=1"          Better koi-8 support for linux. Do not set this for
                   international builds since latin-1 support will be broken.

 "ICONV=1"         Use iconv library for recoding text. Experimental! Do not
                   set this if you don't sure!

 "PLATFORM=xxx"    Overwrite platform auto detection. Here "xxx" may be:
                   "cyg" - for MinGW or Cygwin (MinGW build),
                   "lnx" - for GNU/Linux or any BSD,
                   "emx" - for OS/2 EMX
                   "sun" - for SunOS (Solaris)
                   "osx" - for OS X
                   "djg" - for DJGPP (DOS with DPMI)
                   "be"  - for BeOS
