training tools missing / not found

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.during training process: create tr file with "tesseract fontfile.tif junk 
nobatch box.train"
2. create inttemp and pffmtable with mftraining
OR unicharset_extractor lang.fontname.exp0.box

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
expected unicharset file or inttemp
instead,"mftraining : commande introuvable" or "unicharset_extractor : 
commande introuvable"

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
tesseract 3.03 on ubuntu 14.4

Please provide any additional information below.
I downloaded tesseract-ocr and tesseract-ocr-fra to get tesseract to function.
In order to train, as indicated by training documentation 
(https://code.google.com/p/tesseract-ocr/wiki/TrainingTesseract3), I added the 
3 extra libraries needed
(libicu-dev, libpango1.0-dev, libcairo2-dev)
But I still cannot use the training tools. the command lines "make training
sudo make training-install" do not work in my source directory as i do not have 
makefile. (I tried in /usr/bin,  /usr/include/tesseract, even 
/usr/share/tesseract-ocr but always the same message : "no target to create 
training")
I guess I am missing some libraries or some files, but I downloaded everything 
I have been asked to, so where can I find them ?

Thanks for help
Alexis

1. Issues tracker is not support forum. Use tesseract forum it...
2. It looks like you do not followed Compiling wiki[1]

I guess you are reffering to the following lines : 

"Tesseract uses a standard autotools based build system, so the compilation 
process should be familiar.
./autogen.sh
./configure
make
sudo make install
sudo ldconfig"

But if I try ./autogen.sh or ./configure I only get "no such file or 
directory", except in the very folder of autoconf "/lib/firmware/carl..."  
where it tries to compile a lot of stuff I do not want it to and end with 
errors on thos unwilling files.
How can I make it work on tesseract files ?
