Steghide Makefile fails with critical error on Ubuntu 18.04

[M-Davies]

What I did

• Ran ./configure on an Ubuntu 18.04 machine (within VirtualBox) with libmhash, libmcrypt, zlib and libjpeg installed
• Ran make

What I expected to happen

• Make completed successfully

What actually happened

• Makefile failed with the below error. Running as root did not change the result.

Did you try installing it from the official repos

[M-Davies]

libmhash, libmcrypt, zlib and libjpeg I all installed via apt-get

[isaacs4m]

so have you find a solution yet?

[M-Davies]

I'll admit, I gave up trying to make it work. Ended up using https://github.com/molinab297/PySteg instead

[KaoriRinaFujimoto]
