Not knowing C/++ when you want to port a C/C++ program makes it very  
hard for you to reach your goal...

You didn't provide enough info. There should have been a line or two  
more which referenced files in the src of what you want to compile. In  
those places you have to replace the '#include <malloc.h>' with  
'#include <stdlib.h>'.
