How to Build HexChat on Ubuntu

Install automake, libtool, glib, GTK+ and libxml2 (for Python plugin support you also need python-dev):

# apt-get install automake1.10 libtool libglib2.0-dev libgtk2.0-dev libxml2-dev

Create the configure script:

$ ./autogen.sh

Run the configure script (I do not need Perl, so I simply disabled it; I can help you installing the needed packages though):

$ ./configure --disable-perl

Run make:

$ make

Install it (without -strip you would install HexChat including debugging symbols etc.):

# make install-strip

This guide fails for Ubuntu 16.04
Anyone know what needs to be changed?

see below:
sudo ./autogen.sh
m4/glib-gettext.m4:39: error: m4_copy: won't overwrite defined macro: glib_DEFUN
m4/glib-gettext.m4:39: the top level
