There are a number of problems with this source. The author does not
enable any gcc warnings, so there are a number of problems with the
code that need fixing.
I've built the package with CFLAGS += -Wall, and put the build log
here:
http://people.debian.org/~rleigh/holotz-castle_1.3.6-1_20050603-1032
Once these are fixed, enable all the extra C++ warnings and fix those,
too. This should flush out a /lot/ of problems.
I would highly recommend using autoconf and automake, which makes
changing the CFLAGS very simple. I had to change the compiler flags
in all the Makefiles separately.

You can, but I'll test it at home tonight for you. However, until all
the compiler warnings have been fixed, there may be other problems.
