You have to run ./autogen.sh in the base directory, which will create
appropriate Makefiles for every subdirectory containing source code.
If you're running Windows, I'm not sure what you'd do -- probably run
MinGW or Cygwin and use the bash interpreter in there; you can still
build with whatever toolchain you want. For non-Windows platforms
you'll just need an sh / bash interpreter (should be standard on Mac,
Linux, Solaris, BSD, etc), autoconf, automake, and a make
implementation roughly compatible with GNU Make... the autogen script
should handle the rest.

BTW you can tweak the configuration options either by supplying
command line arguments to autogen.sh, or to the configure script that
is created when you run autogen.sh. Try "./configure --help" .
