Downloading the file at that address was not straightforward. The URL
http://hughsie.no-ip.com/write/hal-extern.c worked much better.

If you want to shorten the above, remove the -I and -l parameters and
add the following, make sure to use the correct "back-ticks" for
quoting:

`pkg-config --cflags --libs glib-2.0`

And when when I finally compiled it, I realized that I had no Linux
