Try running
./autogen.sh
from the top level aplwrap directory and then re-run
./configure
Most likely, you have a different version of automake installed and
running autogen.sh will rebuild the ./configure file to match your system.

Hi Chris,

WARNING: 'automake-1.16' is missing on your system.
You should only need it if you modified 'Makefile.am' or
'configure.ac <http://configure.ac>' or m4 files included by
'configure.ac <http://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!

I haven't any if idea if anyone is still using the aplwrap thing
David Lamkins and I hacked together a few years ago, but I just
updated it, which mostly consisted of replacing a couple of
GTK+/glib things that had been deprecated. You can also set the
foreground and background colours now, in case you want your
screen(s) to be more attention-getting.
Anyway: https://github.com/ChrisMoller/aplwrap
