You may have better luck with emelfm2 which should run on any gtk2 or gtk3 based system.

https://emelfm2.net/

Not sure about gtk 1.2, i think only tiny core linux supports that these days.
scratch that, tiny core uses fltk not gtk.

Looks like you may need libmagic-dev development files. Have you installed those?

https://packages.debian.org/bookworm/libmagic-dev

Install that and see if you can build it again.

Im not really sure about backward compatibility of older versions of gtk on newer gnu/linux systems.

You may need to tweak some settings in the Makefile.config to suit your setup, It could be something to do with file UTF8 encoding.
Also in the Makefile.config there is an option to build gtk2 only which might help. Im just guessing here, the developer would have better answers than I would.
