Created attachment 39214 [details] compiler output for clockspeed
The problem is that clockspeed wants a high resolution time source, and just uses either TSC (an x86 thing) or gethrtime() which is only present on rtlinux and a few commercial unixes. The compile error is due to bad coding, they're placing the error message in line 18 of clockspeed.c without printing it in any way, just like a C compiler would understand that. Basically it's talking about what i said before. This app won't work with some tweaking, so i'm closing as WONTFIX. Sorry, and thanks for the report.
