config.status error when installing on Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS

[Lance Johnson]

Hi there. I am brand new to Janus and am just testing it out to see if this might be a fit for a live streaming project we are working on. We've previously used a commercial product, but I think Janus could be a good fit for out latest use case.

I'm trying to get a test instance up and have followed all of the documentation, including getting libnice installed from master. When I run the following:

./configure --disable-websockets --disable-data-channels --disable-rabbitmq --disable-mqtt --disable-plugin-sip --disable-plugin-voicemail --prefix=/opt/janus

I get an error as follows:

config.status: error: Something went wrong bootstrapping makefile fragments

    for automatic dependency tracking.  Try re-running configure with the

    '--disable-dependency-tracking' option to at least be able to build

    the package (albeit without support for automatic dependency tracking).

The entire out can be found here: https://pastebin.com/BL5xwJep

And config.log output can be seen here: https://pastebin.com/q4jGwHk9

I have been unable to resolve this in Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS. I installed Ubuntu 18.04.5 instead and was able to successfully configure.
