    During compilation on Ubuntu:

    ```
    git -C /home/bbs/sbbs-git/repo remote set-url origin https://gitlab.synchro.net/main/sbbs.git
    echo MAKEFLAGS= os=linux RELEASE=1 | tr ' ' '\n' > /home/bbs/sbbs-git/repo/src/build/localdefs.mk
    make -C /home/bbs/sbbs-git/repo/src/sbbs3 MAKEFLAGS= os=linux RELEASE=1 setcap make[1]: Entering directory '/home/bbs/sbbs-git/repo/src/sbbs3'
    diff: git_hash.h: No such file or directory
    diff: git_branch.h: No such file or directory
    make -C /home/bbs/sbbs-git/repo/src/sbbs3/../../3rdp/build jslib
    make[2]: Entering directory '/home/bbs/sbbs-git/repo/3rdp/build'

    /bin/sh: 1: autoconf-2.13: not found
    ```

    This is because autoconf 2.13 is installed as autoconf2.13

    bbs@test:~/sbbs-git$ which autoconf2.13
    /usr/bin/autoconf2.13


    The makefile should probably check for various versions, if it's actually important.

    Nevermind. I should read the FAQ more often. I still think this should be fixed tho cos it catches me out every new build.
