ecoPCR won't install on Mac (Mojave 10.14.5)

I'm trying to install ecoPCR (version 1.0.1) on my mac from this website.

But when I follow the instruction below:

tar -zxvf ecopcr-*.tar.gz
cd ecoPCR/src/
make

I got that series of messages:

global.mk:17: ecopcr.P: No such file or directory
global.mk:17: ecofind.P: No such file or directory
global.mk:17: ecoisundertaxon.P: No such file or directory
gcc -M  -o ecoisundertaxon.d ecoisundertaxon.c
In file included from ecoisundertaxon.c:1:0:
libecoPCR/ecoPCR.h:4:19: fatal error: stdio.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
make: *** [ecoisundertaxon.P] Error 1

How do I make it install properly?

You need to install the input output library for GCC. See the answers here for help.

Cool!! this actually solved my problem:

cd /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/Packages/
open macOS_SDK_headers_for_macOS_10.14.pkg

The weird thing is that I had Command Line Tools installed, but for some reasons, it didn't work...
