INSTALL instructions don't work

[jimav]

Hi,

The INSTALL file simply says to run ./configure but that file isn't in the repo. Did that ever work out of the box?

I guessed that autoconf would create ./configure, but autoconf gave these errors:

configure.ac:8: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE
      If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
      See the Autoconf documentation.
configure.ac:23: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_PROG_INTLTOOL
configure.ac:35: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_GLIB_GNU_GETTEXT

What else is needed?

Would you please update the INSTALL file to include the current instructions for building on Linux? Thanks
