Hi,
I got elkulator compiled and working
> PRINT "HELLO"
HELLO
It required a fair bit of editing to get it working.
The main problem was getting it to recognize the allegro4.x is installed.
Download:
https://github.com/liballeg/allegro5/releases/download/v4-2-3-1/allegro-4.2.3.1.tar.gz
The only thing you need from the tar file is allegro.m4.
copy the allegro.m4 file into the elkulator folder in a new sub directory
in ./m4/allegro.m4
in the elkulator directory run
aclocal -I m4
mv configure configure.old
autoconf
This should re-generate your "configure" script.
./configure
If it fails looking for install-sh.
rm install-sh depcomp missing compile COPYING INSTALL
autoreconf -vi
then try ./configure again.
I also found that ./src/uef.c needed editing:
--- t3/src/uef.c 2010-07-17 09:15:23.000000000 +0100

Tell me if this helped.
Kind Regards
