I try to build minicom locally, but there are always some issues.
This is the minicom I want to install locally:
https://salsa.debian.org/minicom-team/minicom
There is explained you have to run the ./configure file, but there is no configure file so I tried to make the installation like in the development version explained. So first I run ./autogen.sh and the output was:
+ aclocal-1.16
+ [ 0 != 0 ]
+ autoheader
+ automake-1.16 -c --add-missing --force --gnu
configure.ac:17: installing './ar-lib'
configure.ac:13: installing './compile'
configure.ac:27: installing './config.guess'
configure.ac:27: installing './config.sub'
configure.ac:11: installing './install-sh'
configure.ac:11: installing './missing'
Makefile.am: installing './INSTALL'
lib/Makefile.am: installing './depcomp'
+ autoconf
After this, I get the configure file, so I also run it and the output was:

Here are now 3 issues. I tried anyway to run make and it didn't work, of course:
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
I have no idea how to solve it. I also tried to install some older versions but there are other problems then, for example, my packages are too new. Is there anywhere an introduction on how to install minicom locally on the machine? Thank you very much for your help!
