Also right at the beginning 👍

sh autogen.sh

automake... FAILED!

The last 10 lines of autogen.log follows...

So I modified autogen.sh :

   automake --add-missing

which produced the configure file

It compiles without errors here :
(Sles 11 aws ec2)

gcc (SUSE Linux) 4.3.4 [gcc-4_3-branch revision 152973]

The unused-but-set warning and the autoconf/compile error should be fixed by release 3.11.

Are you sure you are using the current version of configure.ac? The message "mv: cannot stat ‘t-nl.gmo’: No such file or directory" relates to the enable-nls feature which was removed from spinhawk in release 3.09. The "warning: variable 'dnexp' set but not used [-Wunused-but-set-variable]" message was eliminated from spinhawk by commit 03e0d3e on April 3. I don't know what to make of the libtool warnings.
