Attempting to use bootstrap to invoke autoreconf results in the following:

./bootstrap
autoreconf: 'configure.ac' or 'configure.in' is required

sure enough, there are no autoconf files and no configure provided. If that is intentional, then perhaps a Makefile would suffice.

configure.ac is in the repository; you must have deleted it. bootstrap executes successfully for me on Ubuntu 18.04 as well as configure.

P.S. You can get a release tarball with a configure script on SourceForge: https://sourceforge.net/projects/kino/files/dvgrab/3.5/dvgrab-3.5.tar.gz/download It is normal to not check generated files into source control.

Yes, I grabbed the 3.5 tarball and got it there. (shi..!) it was my mkbuilddir script that didn't pick it up. Sorry for the noise.
