Hello:

make all_precomp

and

sudo make install

of versions 1.4.0rc2 run without errors on ubuntu 18.04.

Compile source also does fine (I'd say it's a bit too fast).

After installing with any of those methods, AMC opens, and says:

The package auto-multiple-choice-common is installed but auto-multiple-choice is not.
AMC won't work properly until you install the package auto-multiple-choice.

However, the interface works fine, except it doesn't recognize the scans (ERROR: No layout for ID 0/0/0), but that's another issue.
