Yes, I get this error when running the top autogen.sh. I also know it's
experimental and I would run into errors soon. Thats what I want to solve :)
I don't have much experience with C++ build or cross-compilation but I want
to focus on that and learn.

Yes, I also don't think we'll need such a complex process.

I'll do these.

Thank you all! I'll keep you up to date.
