Hi

I don't know about Ubuntu, but on Debian it is straightforward (although
note that main devel branch is called 'int-new', while 'master' is still
1.6.x branch), you just need basic devel environment (build-essential
package), libreadline-dev, autoconf, bison, flex, and git. With that just:

  git clone https://gitlab.labs.nic.cz/labs/bird.git
  cd bird
  git checkout int-new
  autoreconf
  ./configure
  make
