Subject: [PATCH] Pass --prefix to configure script, disable gpm, do autoreconf

Fix setting the installation prefix by passing --prefix=/usr to the
configure script, which makes moving paths around unneeded in the
package() function.

Also pass --disable-gpm, because libgpm is not listed as a dependency
and a build in a clean chroot fails. Using libgpm may be re-enabled
later.

Using autoreconf makes it unnecessary to to patch Makefiles generated by
the configure script.

The ac-local version has moved. Can the maintainer please update the build() function to be aclocal-1.xx and automake-1.xx agnostic? Thanks!

build() {
  cd "$srcdir/$pkgname-$pkgver"
  ./configure --disable-ssh --disable-upnp #--enable-x11

  # no reason to hard code versions
  sed -i 's|aclocal-1\.[0-9]*|aclocal|' Makefile
  sed -i 's|automake-1\.[0-9]*|automake|' Makefile

  make PREFIX=/usr CFLAGS='-lm'
}

qodem 1.0.1 is avail since 2021-03-01 - simply modifying the PKGBUILD ver seems to work to compile the newer version.
