building has issues - Githubissues

Today I tried building morituri again and this is what happened:

+ aclocal -I m4
+ autoconf
+ automake -a

There seem to be several issues. This is how I tried:

download the zip from master branch and extract it
cd into the extracted folder (morituri-master)
git clone git://github.com/thomasvs/morituri.git
cd morituri
git submodule init
git submodule update
cd .. (! This step is not in the guide, but in the morituri folder there was no autogen.sh, so I think I have to go up again.)
./autogen.sh

EDIT: Could it be that you coded some of it in old python 2 style and some of it in new style? I have python 2.7 as well as 3.4 and 3.5 on my system, so it should have plenty to choose from.
