Correct! Forget the C-Compiler, which comes bundled with the OS.
Either install the 'C/ANSI C' product, as stated in your make output

or install gcc (also available as 'depot' on http://hpux.connect.org.uk/).

    Download the depot, GUNZIP it, put it into /tmp, become root and do a
        swinstall -s /tmp/<filename.depot> \*
    After installation you will find gcc in /opt/gcc/bin
