Description
The changes made on October 16 by generatedunixname89002005279527 remove a bunch of third party files, but leave the infrastructure that tries to build them in place (in particular vlfeat and gtest). This breaks the configuration step (and thus the build) on Ubuntu 24.04.
What is the best way to work around this? As of now, I'm building an older checkout, but this seems to be an issue that should be fixed?

Research direction
Start with the configuration step and the infrastructure for vlfeat and gtest, which the issue identifies as remaining after third-party files were removed. Reproduce the failure on Ubuntu 24.04 and confirm the configuration and build complete successfully without relying on an older checkout.
