Error with Cloudy's make command on WSL2

I'm using a WSL2 (windows subsystem Linux) with Ubuntu 20.04 LTS.I want to use the Cloudy package, a Linux based simulation tool https://gitlab.nublado.org/cloudy/cloudyI have installed the package and tried to run the make command but I'm getting this error:

sh: 0: Illegal option --Creating cloudyconfig.hno object file found, is the compiler working?make: *** [Makefile:255: /home/ray/cloudy_master/Cloudy_17/source/cloudyconfig.h] Error 1

The gcc and make packages seem up to date. I really don't understand the error. I'm pretty new to this.
