Are you sure all the development software and tools required for the Linux build are in place as detailed at:

http://vos.openlinksw.com/owiki/wiki/VOS/VOSMake#Requirements

I have been able to successfully build on Ubuntu 16.04 as have others ...

Also, it might be a wrong comment, but if your openssl version is 1.1 then it is a bug already reported.
Best thing you can do is to use openssl 1.0.2 to build.

Thanks but I'm using openssl 1.0.2

Checking build environment ...
Using aclocal (GNU automake) 1.15
Using autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.69
Using autoheader (GNU Autoconf) 2.69
Using automake (GNU automake) 1.15
Using libtoolize (GNU libtool) 2.4.6
Using bison (GNU Bison) 3.0.4
Using flex 2.6.0
Using GNU Awk 4.1.3, API: 1.1 (GNU MPFR 3.1.4, GNU MP 6.1.0)
Using GNU gperf 3.0.4
Using OpenSSL 1.0.2g 1 Mar 2016

I just pulled the latest develop/7 from git and now even autogen.sh isn't working any longer :

Running autoconf ...

** ERROR **
If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
See the Autoconf documentation.
configure.ac:1275: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_MSG_WARN

Bootstrap script aborting (see autogen.log for details) ...

with autogen.log showing :

If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
See the Autoconf documentation.

ahh sorry! the openssl breaks the make. Ignore my last comment :)

[H-B-Schmidt]

Installing pkg-config solved both problems. Perhaps it should be mentioned as a build requirement ?

We are working on a fix so certain checks works on all platforms.
