looks like you're missing some crucial packages. First, install the
'build-essential' package, by:

 sudo apt-get install build-essential

For TLF you'll also need hamlib and ncurses, which are probably not
installed on your system by default; get them by:

 sudo apt-get install libhamlib2 libhamlib-dev libncurses5-dev libncurses5

After that, TLF should build properly.
