autogen.sh before configure. State that and the build dependencies.

[BUILDING]
The generated autotools files (configure, Makefile.in, ...) are not kept in
the repository. After a fresh clone, bootstrap them first:
./autogen.sh
./configure
make
Build dependencies: a C compiler, autoconf, automake, libtool, pkg-config,
libcom_err (com_err development files) and, optionally, libuuid.
