Hey Helen, See the announcement <https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/docs/news/2022-08-03> for more information, but the TL;DR is that we're removing autotools support in our upcoming release.
The only C++ build systems we will support going forward are Bazel and CMake (see the updated documentation <https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf/blob/main/src/README.md>). I'm curious where you got those setup instructions from? The release is still a work in progress, so it's possible we've missed some references to the old instructions. Depending on what you're trying to do, you have 3 options: 1) Use CMake as a roughly drop-in replacement for the old autotools workflow you referenced. This is our only supported mechanism for *installation* of protobuf, and it looks like that might be what you want. 2) Install Bazel and use that for build and test. This may be a bit of an adjustment depending on what you're doing 3) Work from the 21.x branch, which we will continue to support for at least 12 months after the 22.x release (according to our breaking change policy <https://opensource.google/documentation/policies/library-breaking-change>).
