The version of ANON you were using:

Run anond --version to find out

Machine specs:

• OS name + version: MacOS 10.14 Mojave
• Compiler version (gcc -version): gcc5

@dbigge since no-one is supporting this project, I discovered in another thread the resolution for this:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/52509602/cant-compile-c-program-on-a-mac-after-upgrade-to-mojave/52530212#comment91963866_52509602

basically navigate using the Finder to: /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/Packages/
and run macOS_SDK_headers_for_macOS_10.14.pkg to install the headers needed for mac correctly.

Then rerun the script for configure and make and it will work.
