Actually, it looks like you did compile GNU Chess.

This is only a warning, not a fatal error.  If this is the only message
you got, then nothing is wrong.

This is an error in the Makefile.  "k2" is a former name for what is now
GNU Chess 5.0, and of course .exe is a Windows suffix, not a Unix suffix.
You successfully compiled gnuchess, and it should be sitting in the 
source directory.  You can run it from where it is, or "install" it by
hand by copying it to whatever directory you want to put it in.
The fact that "make install" doesn't work shouldn't get in your way.

You may also need to build the book.  I don't recall offhand how to do that.
You should be able to find out by reading the README file.
