Thanks for the reply. I’m building on CentOS7 so the example is partly useful 
but there are several changes. Here are some basic steps in case someone else 
attempts this:
yum install git build-essential perl-devel perl-CPAN perl-CGI gcc httpd mod_ssl 
glusterfs-client
cpan [accept all defaults]
install Test::More
quit
reboot (might not be necessary)
git clone https://github.com/backuppc/backuppc.git
git clone https://github.com/backuppc/backuppc-xs.git
git clone https://github.com/backuppc/rsync-bpc.git
cd backuppc-xs/
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install

cd ../rsync-bpc
./configure
make

…and this is where it fails with:
lib/sysacls.c:2761:2: error: #error No ACL functions defined for this platform!
#error No ACL functions defined for this platform!
  ^
make: *** [lib/sysacls.o] Error 1

I’m not sure if this is helpful but acl’s (Access Control Lists) are supported 
on this system:

[Cent-7:root@hostname rsync-bpc]# yum install acl
Package acl-2.2.51-14.el7.x86_64 already installed and latest version
Nothing to do

[Cent-7:root@hostname rsync-bpc]# cat /boot/config-3.10.0-862.9.1.el7.x86_64 | 
grep _ACL
CONFIG_EXT4_FS_POSIX_ACL=y
CONFIG_XFS_POSIX_ACL=y
CONFIG_BTRFS_FS_POSIX_ACL=y
CONFIG_FS_POSIX_ACL=y
CONFIG_GENERIC_ACL=y
CONFIG_TMPFS_POSIX_ACL=y
CONFIG_NFS_V3_ACL=y
CONFIG_NFSD_V2_ACL=y
CONFIG_NFSD_V3_ACL=y
CONFIG_NFS_ACL_SUPPORT=m
CONFIG_CEPH_FS_POSIX_ACL=y
CONFIG_CIFS_ACL=y

Am I making a mistake in installing the current version? Perhaps I’d have 
better results installing the version identified in the Debian-based script?
Thank you!

Mike,

You have to build and install backuppc-xs first.  Also, makeDist needs a 
--version argument.

The wiki has an example 
script<https://github.com/backuppc/backuppc/wiki/Installing-BackupPC-4-from-git-on-Ubuntu-Xenial-16.04-LTS>
 for building from git.

You need to run makeDist first to create a tarball release that includes an
updated configure.pl<http://configure.pl>.  After you unpack the tarball, run 
configure.pl<http://configure.pl> from
there.

Not sure why I’d need to generate a tarball but when I run makeDist I get:
[Cent-7:root@ hostname backuppc]# perl makeDist
