This compiles fine on Fedora 38 but not on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS where it has the above mentioned linking errors. If I add one line to the Makefile it works for both operating systems:

How exactly did you insert it? When I do it how I think you did, make tells me it's missing a separator in line 9. That's my Makefile:

The whitespace before "$(CXX)" is a tab character. As it is for all the indents.
I still use this today and it works. I use it by first prepping my sudo timer with say "sudo ls", I then run this sequence:
cd ~/git/wayland-push-to-talk-fix/; sudo -u $USER -g input nohup ./push-to-talk /dev/input/by-id/usb-Logitech_G512_RGB_MECHANICAL_GAMING_KEYBOARD_0A7431423932-event-kbd </dev/null >/dev/null 2>&1 &
I can then exit that shell and get down to gaming.
Good luck!
