Could you describe the exact steps you took from git clone until you got
the error? That way we don't have to guess what you may or may not have
done :)

It does use autoconf.

  git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/gstreamer/gst-plugins-gl
  cd gst-plugins-gl
  git checkout -b 0.10 origin/0.10
  ./autogen.sh; make

Should work.
