New question #809153 on Xpad:
https://answers.launchpad.net/xpad/+question/809153

I have a brand-new install of Ubuntu 22.04LTS, a perfectly horrible distro.

I've tried many times to build version 5.8 of xpad, because 5.4, the version in the repo, does not work correctly (see my bug report).

Of course, I had to install autogen, and then comment out the reference to AM_GNU_GETTEXT: ... is used, but not AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION or AM_GNU_GETTEXT_REQUIRE_VERSION

but it made the configure file anyway.  But when run, I get:

checking for gcc... gcc
checking whether the C compiler works... yes
checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out
checking for suffix of executables...

./configure: line 6543: syntax error near unexpected token `GTK,'
./configure: line 6543: `PKG_CHECK_MODULES(GTK, gtk+-3.0 >= 3.22 gio-2.0 >= 2.56)'


I've been 'round and 'round numerous times until I'm both stumped and frustrated.

How does one build the xpad app in a system as broken as 22.04 appears to be?  I don't even know if it will work any better than the older version...
