I am a complete noob, and I need to compile a program.

[bocmaxima]

Is there a guide on how to do it?

I know I have build essential installed, and make, but I have no idea what to do.

Wht are the commands to attempt?

Thats the source I got.

bocmaxima,

On the SourceForge project page for SpeedSim, it says it's a Windows-only application.

Oh, well, shows you exactly how much a noob I am...I thought since there WAS source code it could be compiled in linux :(
