subject: Installing sbbs error:

Ok, so I am trying to install an sbbs instance on a raspberry pi 4, running
Ubuntu Server 20.04.

After the make install SYMLINK=1 USE_DOSEMU=1 command, I get:

[a bunch of all text, all the way to the script trying to recognize my OS] 
UNAME_MACHINE = aarch64
UNAME_RELEASE = 5.4.0-1008-raspi
UNAME_SYSTEM  = Linux
UNAME_VERSION = #8-Ubuntu SMP Wed Apr 8 11:13:06 UTC 2020
configure: error: can not guess host type; you must specify one
make[2]: *** [GNUmakefile:60:
../build/../../src/../3rdp/gcc.linux.aarch64.realease/mozjs/lib/libmozjs185-1.0

make[2] : Leaving directory '/sbbs/3rdp/build'
make[1]: *** [/sbbs/src/sbbs3/../build/Common.gmake:515: js] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory '/sbbs/src/sbbs3'
make: *** [GNUmakefile:160 sbbs30 Error 2
sbbs@ubuntu:/sbbs$

I wanna switch my sbbs to this server, as the laptop I am using it less than
rock solid... I thought ubuntu server was a great choice; and since 20.04 was
installable on my Raspberry Pi I gave it a go. Any reason its not installing
easily? THANKS - and I just want on PAUSE mode. Turned off, no rush...
appreciate any help
