C++ compilation issues

I've found some software I would like to use that is quite rough around the edges. It is called Karmin and can be downloaded from sourceforge:

http://karmin.sourceforge.net/

Part of the code compiles (although not so cleanly), but the 'img' and serial sniffing code seem to have problems. I run libtoolize in src/ then autoconf, and start make. I end up with gcc spewing page upon page of error messages. Would someone be kind enough to tell me how to fix this? I have experience with C, but no C++ and this seems to be beyond me.

The source archive can be downloaded here:
