Since the source archive for Elkulator includes a configure script, I
would expect on *most* distros it to be sufficient to install the
dependencies and run ./configure && make.
There are always exceptions, of course, with incomplete or minimally
tested configure scripts not being unknown - autoconf is, at best,
rather baroque!
If it doesn't just work, let us know and I, or someone else can grab it,
and experiment a bit.
