There is a very tiny 2-character difference between the command line I
wrote and the one that you wrote. Those two characters are absolutely
critical. If you understood what "make" does, you'd be considerably less
likely to make that mistake.

Alternatively, you could simply execute the command line that I quoted
which was generated and executed by make.

You seem surprisingly unfamiliar with how to build C programs using
command line utilities. Do you normally rely on a GUI of some kind to do
it for you?
