We need more info:
- you list 3 applications you installed, to compile with gcc, but you 
don't list gcc
- you have an error /bin/gmake[1]: ELF: not found line 1, the shabang.
on my system which gmake returns /usr/local/bin/gmake
- an error as "no closing quotes" can be what it means. It can be an 
error of the author.
It can be caused by a Linuxism as using Ctrl+Enter to write a 
non-breaking space.
Can be caused by a plain cp from one slice to the other without using 
FTP or NFS
(which make the needed conversions as dos2unix ...)
List goes on.  Can be a bug.
- have both systems you tried on the same toolchain?

What is a Linux app?
Portable sources should not have problems to compile with the proper 
toolchain.
