How to build

[pepa65]

Expected behaviour

The whole build process works.

Actual behaviour

I'm stuck at ./autogen.sh:

/usr/local/bin/mate-autogen
checking for autoreconf >= 2.53...
  testing autoreconf... found 2.69
checking for pkg-config >= 0.14.0...
  testing pkg-config... found 0.29.1
checking for gtk-doc >= 1.0...
  testing gtkdocize... found 1.27
checking for mate-common >= 1.1.0...
  testing mate-doc-common... found 1.25.0
Checking for required M4 macros...
  mate-compiler-flags.m4 not found
***Error***: some autoconf macros required to build libmateweather
  were not found in your aclocal path, or some forbidden
  macros were found.  Perhaps you need to adjust your
  ACLOCAL_FLAGS?

(This is after I installed mate-common from the mate-desktop git and installed the gtk-doc-tools package from the repo.)

Steps to reproduce the behaviour

./autogen.sh

MATE general version

1.20.0

Package version

1.20.0-1

Linux Distribution

Ubuntu MATE 18.04.4 LTS

Link to downstream report of your Distribution

I was just wondering if it could be built...

@pepa65, did you succeed with reckoning how to properly add places and build them?
I've been struggling with obtaining this information and even submitted a question (Issue) #104.
I'll appreciate you you can shed light on this.

I had a particular interest in adding places in Thailand that I knew had a meteorological station at the local airport. I located the building and noted the coordinates. I only used places that had a code. I don't have detailed policy guidelines like the one you're asking for in #104.
I would think anything that you can add would be welcomed if it can be verified by someone else.

(Note that I did succeed in building, with a more modern version if I remember correctly. I found guidance some place else, but I don't remember where.)
