Failed to compile the source code

[clock999]

Hello,

I am trying to use remake from the source code. But there is a build error while doing the compile.
The error information is as below. I just run ./configure and make. Could you help with this? Thanks a lot!

@clock999 : on what system do you try to compile? macOS or Linux, what version/distro and what remake source file did you use?

HI,

This is the link where I downloaded the source: https://jaist.dl.sourceforge.net/project/bashdb/remake/4.3%2Bdbg-1.5/remake-4.3%2Bdbg-1.5.tar.gz.

My steps are just simple.

cd to remake-4.3+dbg-1.5
./configure
make

But I met the errors:
src/main.o: In function main': /home/wy/sw1/remake-4.3+dbg-1.5/src/main.c:2377: undefined reference to dbg_cmd_info_targets'

@clock999 what distro / OS?

[clock999]

The os is ubuntu 16.04.

Install libreadline-dev and it should compile fine (see #3) - it did for me at least.
