Use xmkmf if it works on your system to create Makefile. If it fails, a command line that builds xmccd without using the Makefile is one such as gcc -o xmccd -O2 -fno-strength-reduce -L./sbig -L/usr/X11R6/lib xmccd.o -lXm -lXt -lSM -lICE -lXext -lX11 -lsbigudrv4.0 -lm You may need to change the library paths (-L flag) for the installation on your system. This one works for Slackware 10.1 with the sbig libraries in a subdirectory of the source for XmCCD.
