ggtags.el:2367:11:Error: Given parent class xref-file-location is not a class

I am on mint 18.3 with an uptodate system. Emacs on my install is emacs 24.5.1
I downloaded 6.6.3 and typed "make". I get error msg:
int1> make
Compiling ggtags.el
In ggtags-next-mark:
ggtags.el:1345:22:Warning: reference to free variable `xref--marker-ring'
In ggtags-view-tag-history:

I am sorry I don't know what is wrong, it has been a couple of years since I last was deeper into these things and may have forgotten something important.
Are you using ggtags from git which requires Emacs >= 25? Use the tagged 0.8.13 version instead for Emacs 24.x.
