Isn't Frostwire in Java? You don't compile that, IIRC. I mean - you do - but you have to use a Java compiler and not autoconf/configure/gcc.
Instead of compiling, you should just run the RPM. See here for more details:
viewtopic.php?f=19&t=3091&start=30#p12117Skip past the first part of that post - I do detail how to load & configure Frostwire in there.
BTW - newer versions of Frostwire don't always work with YDL. You might start with the RPM I mentioned, get it working, and try newer ones from there.
Cheers,
