The output libtoolize: putting auxiliary files in '..'. seems strange – how did you call the install script?

Same issue here. but the log is slightly different. I´m using Pi OS Lite 5.10.

Can you try to rename the "install.sh" file in the parent directory (root of this project) to something else? I experienced some very strange behaviour with libtoolize when there is an "install.sh" in a parent directory...

I tried again. This time with a "install.sh" in "/rpi-audio-receiver-main" renamed to "in.sh" . But still the same problem:

pivumeter is not (really) supported anymore when using PulseAudio, which we must do because Raspberry Pi OS 11 does not include BlueALSA anymore. Pimoroni seems to be working on a "Pi VU Meter" (see pimoroni/pivumeter-pulseaudio), but it is in a very early stage of development and currently only seems to support the PHAT Beat device.
