Using raspbian. I had to install libglib2.0-dev because of the following error when executing autogen:

_configure.ac:152: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_GLIB_GNU_GETTEXT If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_patternallow. See the Autoconf documentation.

I also needed to install intltool because of:

./autogen.sh: 5: ./autogen.sh: intltoolize: not found

I think the documentation should be updated.

The build documentation assumes, as is standard for Debian packages, that all dependencies have already been installed - the easy way to do this is "sudo apt-get build-dep piclone".

The dependencies can be seen listed in the control file in the debian subdirectory.

Had the same issue on a headless Raspberry Pi install.

intltoolize: not found

Could the script perhaps try to install these things if they are found to be missing?

Also:

pi@gateway:~/piclone $ sudo apt-get build-dep piclone
Reading package lists... Done
E: You must put some 'source' URIs in your sources.list

Same thing when run from the debian directory.

See above - the build instructions assume you know the basics of building and installing a Debian package. It is your responsibility to set your system up for building by enabling download of source packages and installing dependencies. As above "sudo apt build-dep piclone" will automatically install all required dependencies, and this is a standard step before building any package.
