I am trying to install older version SUDO But whenever i do sudo make install I get this error ,

if test -d ./.hg && cd .; then \
    if hg log --style=changelog -b default > ChangeLog.tmp; then \
        mv -f ChangeLog.tmp ChangeLog; \
    else \
        rm -f ChangeLog.tmp; \
    fi; \
elif test -d ./.git && cd .; then \
    ./log2cl.pl -b master > ChangeLog; \
else \
    echo "ChangeLog data not available" > ChangeLog; \
fi

As far as I understood this command:

for d in lib/util  plugins/group_file plugins/sudoers plugins/system_group src include doc examples; do \
    (cd $d && exec make pre-install) && continue; \
    exit $?; \
done

adds SUBDIRS to /etc/sudoers file, but the way it does the job causing incorrect syntax in /etc/sudoers
