What steps will reproduce the problem?

2. aclocal & autoreconf

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expect to generate Makefile.
but:
{{{
configure.ac: required file `./install-sh' not found
configure.ac: required file `./missing' not found
Makefile.am: required file `./INSTALL' not found
Makefile.am:4: Libtool library used but `LIBTOOL' is undefined
Makefile.am:4: 
Makefile.am:4: The usual way to define `LIBTOOL' is to add `AC_PROG_LIBTOOL'
Makefile.am:4: to `configure.ac' and run `aclocal' and `autoconf' again.
Makefile.am: required file `./depcomp' not found
Makefile.am:20: `dist_doc_DATA' is used but `docdir' is undefined
autoreconf: automake failed with exit status: 1

Hi,

You have an outdated version of libtool (and possibly also autoconf/automake). 
configure.ac contains LT_INIT, and AC_PROG_LIBTOOL is just a deprecated name 
for that.

Upgrade your autotools, and all should be fine. Optionally, use the tarballs, 
where you don't need to run autogen.sh.
