Cannot compile grub 1.99 from tar.gz source

[George R . Kasica]

In need of some assistance here with building grub 1.99

./configure 

completes without errors 


but with make I get 

gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I..  -Wall -W -I../include -I../include

Not sure how to solve tisone as I've tried patches relating to the
issue and they fail to apply
