I am trying to install a custom piece of software for my job. I downloaded the source, went inside the folder and typed $ cmake ... After reading AskUbuntu answers, I deduced the problem comes from my m4 installation. I freshly installed m4, but nothing changes. When I run CMake, I have this:
$ cmake ..

This is driving me crazy. I spent hours looking around, reinstalling m4 etc, but I still can't build this software.
The CMakeOutput.log file is very long, I put it here.
If anyone has a solution or pointers, I'll take it! Thanks in advance. I should add that I'm using WSL2 on Windows 11 with Ubuntu 20.
