How to convert Makefile.am to Makefile.in?
I'm trying to install gnuplot 5.3 from github. I'm running
aclocal
autoheader
autoconf
automake
inside the package location.
This gives an error because automake is looking for Makefile.in and I have a bunch of Makefile.am files, supposedly automake should change the .am files to .in but that clearly doesn't happen. Can't run ./configure after becuase of the same reason, how do I get the .am files to change to .in?
compiling gnuplot autoconf automake

You should read the "INSTALL'", "README" files, and probably run "./configure`" FIRST.

The install and readme tell me to do what I did, run autoconf and then ./configure but I get an error because of the .am files.

At first please note that GNU Plot is packaged in all Ubuntu versions:
But you can compile GNU Plot from GitHub by using the followed procedure:
Enable Source code repositories in Software & Updates (
software-properties-gtk) and install compile-time dependencies to be completely sure that all dependencies are satisfied on compile time
sudo apt-get build-dep gnuplot
Install needed tools
sudo apt-get install git lua5.1
Clone repository and run
./preparescript first (!!! important step !!!)
git clone https://github.com/gnuplot/gnuplot.git
cd gnuplot
./prepare
Then run all usual tools:
./configure
make
#make check # shows various very beautiful plots
sudo make install
Note: it is better to use Checkinstall (
sudo make checkinstall install) in last step, decide by yourself.
