Hello, I have cloned the git repo on my pc and as well in docker. I am getting the following error when I run ./bootstrap. am I missing any package that I have to install? Thank you in advance.

Thank for the update. The solution worked but I ran into error while "make" and "./configure"
I had to make changes in the extension for Makefile.in as the extension was Makefile.am in (api, example and test) after these changes the "./configure" worked.
when running "make"
""

this is the error I am getting

That's not normal. Maybe your repo is modified or your tool chain is out of date? Try again like this and see what happens:

mkdir -p test/build/
cd test/
git clone https://github.com/snort3/libdaq.git
cd libdaq
./bootstrap
cd ../build
../libdaq/configure --prefix=`pwd`
make install

Worked with ubuntu without any issues but debian it failed thank you for the help.

The Makefile.in files are generated from the Makefile.am files by way of automake and autoconf. Renaming the .am files to .in files would end very poorly, as you saw.
