If youhave just checked out from GIT, you should add the option "--force" toautogen.sh so that meta data is noticed by autom4te.cache.  Then run./configure --enable-maintainer-modefollowed by the usual make.If autogen.sh complains about insufficient versions of the requiredtools, or the tools are not installed, you may use environmentvariables to override the default tool names: AUTOMAKE_SUFFIX  is used as a suffix for all tools from the automake                  package.  For example                     AUTOMAKE_SUFFIX="-1.14" ./autogen.sh                  uses "automake-1.14" and "aclocal-1.14. AUTOMAKE_PREFIX  is used as a prefix for all tools from the automake                  page and may be combined with AUTOMAKE_SUFFIX. e.g.:                    AUTOMAKE_PREFIX=/usr/foo/bin ./autogen.sh                  uses "automake" and "aclocal" in the /usr/foo/bin                  directory. AUTOCONF_SUFFIX  is used as a suffix for all tools from the automake                  package AUTOCONF_PREFIX  is used as a prefix for all tools from the automake                  package GETTEXT_SUFFIX   is used as a suffix for all tools from the gettext                  package GETTEXT_PREFIX   is used as a prefix for all tools from the gettext                  packageIt is also possible to use the variable name AUTOMAKE, AUTOCONF,ACLOCAL, AUTOHEADER, GETTEXT and MSGMERGE to directly specify the nameof the programs to run.  It is however better to use the suffix andprefix forms as described above because that does not requireknowledge about the actual tools used by autogen.sh.Please don't use autopoint, libtoolize or autoreconf unless you arethe current maintainer and want to update the standard configurationfiles.  All those files should be in GIT and only updated manuallyif the maintainer decides that newer versions are required.  Themaintainer should also make sure that the required version of automakeet al. are properly indicated at the top of configure.ac and take careto copy the files and not merely use symlinks.
