I'm trying to get idevicerestore installed but I'm running into a slew of problems. libirecovery is required for idevicerestore so i downloaded it from here https://github.com/Chronic-Dev/libirecovery. I was able to get it configured, but when I do 'make' it gives me the following

make all-recursive

I don't know where to go from here. I've searched the error and I come up with nothing.
Thank you for the help.

Ok, I was able to fix that problem by following the directions here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1874860

Now I'm getting this error

checking for libplist... no
configure: error: Package requirements (libplist >= 1.11) were not met:

Requested 'libplist >= 1.11' but version of libplist is 1.10

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Ok I downloaded libplist from github and got it installed and now I'm getting this

configure: error: Package requirements (libcurl >= 7.0) were not met:

No package 'libcurl' found

and I can't find anywhere to download libcurl 7

Ok I installed libcurl4-openssl-dev and it worked. I finally got idevicerestore configured. Now when I go to make I get this
