I've followed these instructions and made the commits. I noticed another warning when running "configure" while trying to spot the error message that you reported: configure.ac:145: warning: ill-formed serial number 'number', expecting a version string with only digits and dots This error message is from aclocal. $ aclocal --version aclocal (GNU automake) 1.16.5 Copyright (C) 2021 Free Software Foundation, Inc. Line 145 is newly added: > +# serial number (from gnulib) to an older serial number (from gettext). The comment is being interpreted as some kind of serial number line. I will amend the comment to stop this.
