Attempting to build with autoconf yields multiple warnings:

Is there an expected version of autoconf for this patch? I built with autoconf 2.71
autoconf 2.71 here too. Maybe you need automake too, here I use automake 1.16
Build log can be found on: https://salsa.debian.org/electronics-team/gplcver/-/jobs/5979175/raw
I have added the files config.guess and config.sub, however even with the missing files this has multiple build issues on my system.
autoconf reports the following errors:
configure.ac:8: warning: The macro

configure.ac:6: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE
If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
See the Autoconf documentation.
After running autoupdate, autoconf still has one outstanding error:
configure.ac:17: warning: The preprocessor macro

If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
See the Autoconf documentation.
Running automake yielded errors, after running aclocal and automake --add-missing, automake runs cleanly.
Please pull branch autoconf_ticket4 and confirm that the changes look OK.
All this shouldn't be needed, do you run: autoreconf -f -i ?
On my system, running autoreconf -f -i results in:
configure.ac:17: warning: The preprocessor macro
STDC_HEADERS' is obsolete. configure.ac:17: Except in unusual embedded environments, you can safely include all configure.ac:17: ISO C90 headers unconditionally. configure.ac:34: warning: Update your code to rely only on HAVE_SYS_TIME_H, configure.ac:34: then remove this warning and the obsolete code below it. configure.ac:34: All current systems provide time.h; it need not be checked for. configure.ac:34: Not all systems provide sys/time.h, but those that do, all allow configure.ac:34: you to include it and time.h simultaneously. configure.ac:55: warning: your code may safely assume C89 semantics that RETSIGTYPE is void. configure.ac:55: Remove this warning and theAC_CACHE_CHECK' when youadjust the code.
configure.ac:11: installing './compile'

After that ./configure and make builds OK.

Issues: #4
The binary created by the automake process does not have the correct behavior. After building the tests in tests_and_examples/install.tst should pass without messages, but the automake version has multiple errors.
To reproduce, build using the automake system, change path to CVER in inst_tst.sh to:
CVER="../../src/cver -q "
And run test with ./inst_tst.sh
