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
