GCC Errors When Building Example Program From SDL Tutorial

Question

I'm trying to build this example program dots.c from an old SDL tutorial here. http://www.dreamincode.net/forums/topic/64143-game-programming-in-linux-for-windows-programmers-part-2/ I'm getting errors from GCC which I think may be related to missing C escape sequences which were omitted either by my copy-pasting or the original HTML representation. But I don't know enough about C to say one way or the other. I'd like to know what changes the code needs to clear these build errors, ideally with how you identified those. Thank you.

There was stray HTML in the tutorial code in the form of />'s on lines 41,51, 55, 59. These had to be deleted before GCC would successfully build. Thanks to tkausl for suggesting the solution.
