A classic error. I'm really sorry if this is annoying but everything i've tried to solve this hasn't worked and you somehow got it to work so i am asking here what the problem is. I ran the command and got: C:\Users\jago>git clone https://github.com/potsbo/any-ticker.git && cd any-ticker && make Cloning into 'any-ticker'... remote: Enumerating objects: 1225, done. Rremote: Total 1225 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0), pack-reused 1225 ving objects: 96% (1176/1225), 1. Receiving objects: 100% (1225/1225), 1.28 MiB | 2.12 MiB/s, done. Resolving deltas: 100% (703/703), done. 'make' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

I'm sorry again thank you in advance

Thank you for trying to use my code! I'm so glad to see someone is interested in this project.

This is the expected behavior in my laptop (macOS).

:) % git clone https://github.com/potsbo/any-ticker.git && cd any-ticker && make                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          21-01-21 12:00:18

By seeing your error message, I believe this is because of the lacking make command which is a widely used fundamental build tool. Also, your prompt indicates you are using a Windows machine, is it correct? If so, finding a way to use make in Windows can help this. The bad news is I'm not familiar with that OS. But I believe many people around the world want the tool run in the environment, so it won't be so hard to find some article to make it possible.

Something like

Or start using Linux or macOS is another option, which shouldn't be too hard but can easily avoid these platform issues.

You can use wsl on windows 10 to compile the program. I only managed to do it with epicTCK 's fork. I installed git, autoconf, gcc and g++ and it compiled.
