Hi Chris,
I'd like to try aplwrap on my LinuxMint 19.3 system but I get:
$ ./configure

checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for a thread-safe mkdir -p... /bin/mkdir -p
checking for gawk... gawk

checking whether make supports nested variables... yes
checking for gcc... gcc
checking whether the C compiler works... yes
checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out
checking for suffix of executables...
checking whether we are cross compiling... no
checking for suffix of object files... o
checking whether we are using the GNU C compiler... yes
checking whether gcc accepts -g... yes
checking for gcc option to accept ISO C89... none needed
checking whether gcc understands -c and -o together... yes
checking whether make supports the include directive... yes (GNU style)
checking dependency style of gcc... gcc3
checking whether to enable maintainer-specific portions of Makefiles... yes
checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config
checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes

WARNING: 'automake-1.16' is missing on your system.
You should only need it if you modified 'Makefile.am' or
'configure.ac' or m4 files included by 'configure.ac'.
The 'automake' program is part of the GNU Automake package:
<https://www.gnu.org/software/automake>
It also requires GNU Autoconf, GNU m4 and Perl in order to run:
<https://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf>
<https://www.gnu.org/software/m4/>
<https://www.perl.org/>
Makefile:338: recipe for target 'Makefile.in' failed
make: *** [Makefile.in] Error 1
I didn't modify any files - and I have automake 1.15.1 installed (what
comes with this version of the OS).
Thanks!
