You can get past the AM_PATH_GLIB_2_0 by installing the package:
apt install libglib2.0-dev
Then use the "autogen" script in the amanda distribution.
However, that's not quite enough to complete the build. In looking at
what the debian folks have done, there are other issues. You can see
their patches at (the former one is for amanda 3.5.1 on bookworm, the
latter is for amanda 3.5.4 on trixie/sid):
https://sources.debian.org/patches/amanda/1:3.5.1-11%2Bdeb12u2/
and
https://sources.debian.org/patches/amanda/1:3.5.4-2/
There are packages for amanda 3.5.1 from debian, which might be the
easier way to go.
I still need a starter amanda.conf, or as below. LVM working for starters.
Reading man lvm, then asking for devtypes does NOT get me LVM, only md.
Did they use a different name? Odd...

I too am attempting to build 3.5.4. but on an arm64, which I've setup

out of 5 of them and the 6th as a holding disk.
At first, I have 7 other machines on this local network, possibly 9
if I live long enough, cherry picking the work directory's so the
individual os can be updated and the work then recovered.
unpacking the archive, I see no makefiles or configure so I assume I
start with ./automake since I do have an automake.am. But it quickly
spits out a missing:
config/amanda/libs.m4:160: warning: macro 'AM_PATH_GLIB_2_0' not
found in library
followed by around 10 screens full of tracing info, ending in:
configure.ac:27: the top level
configure.ac:19: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_DEFINE
If this token and others are legitimate, please use
m4_pattern_allow.
See the Autoconf documentation.
configure.ac:25: error: possibly undefined macro: dnl
configure:48225: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_PATH_GLIB_2_0

I have not built amanda in several years and my aging memory at 90 yo
does not remember what it took to build it on amd64 all those years
ago. And to further confuse the issue, this is aarch64, a bananapi
m5, much like an rpi4b but somewhat faster and all usb sockets are
usb-3.1, so the rw bandwidth to these 4T SSD's is around 500
megs/second. 4x faster than the pair of spinning rust drives that
died at 2 weeks spin time shortly after I upgraded to bookworm which
wiped out my amanda setup back then.
Any help pulling this off will be gratefully appreciated. Thanks to all.
