Question about configure and Makefile.in

Hello! I am going for an install from github and have copied it down in a directory. It came with a configure.ac. First I tried to autoconf it and ended up going with autoreconf install instead.

Now when I ./configure I get error: checking for c++ versions higher than 5.x... configure: error: G++ 5.x or higher required (found Collection))

Still I end up with a Makefile.in and I wonder if this will be enough to continue processing with more autotools since G++5x or higher is in "(found Collection)"?

I have tried figure out where to set variables to configure without this error but really don't know how. Suggestions?

Currently having /usr/local/bin/g++6.

This is somewhat related:

But doesn't fit the situation.
