Happy to see the project is not dead, unfortunately the shell build fails under Ubuntu 22.04 (Makefile.in not generated) :

Hi Christian,
please try latest trunk revision 344. I tried to update the automake configuration. Steps described in README.txt should now build also on Ubuntu. Happy to get your feedback.
Regards,
Sebastian
