 Honestly - if you don't know how to deal with make and makefiles - why
are you  insistent on doing this instead of following the wonderful
advice people here are giving you -

  i.e. yum install gedit.

 I mean - seriously - if you cannot fly - don't try pilot the plane -
get a cup of coffee and relax in the cabin .. and yum install gedit.
