aplwrap needs to have the GNU APL source around to get stuff out of
Avec.hh. Normally, it gets the location of that directory by running
apl --show_src_dir
and if that doesn't work for whatever reason, it can't build. A long
time ago, I had a ./configure option "--with-apl-source-dir" to manually
set that, but the option seems to have vanished. I'll stick it back in,
but a quick work-around would be to manually set the path at line 7 of
./configure.ac

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,

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

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.
