Build issue on Ubuntu 15.04

This might not be an issue with the script, but I wanted to leave this here as I have little to any clue on where to troubleshoot and fixe the issue.

I have never used automake before. When trying to do "automake" I get the following feedback:

configure.ac: error: no proper invocation of AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE was found. configure.ac: You should verify that configure.ac invokes AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE, configure.ac: that aclocal.m4 is present in the top-level directory, configure.ac: and that aclocal.m4 was recently regenerated (using aclocal) Makefile.am:27: warning: dir $@: non-POSIX variable name Makefile.am:27: (probably a GNU make extension) Makefile.am:81: warning: shell $(GLIB_COMPILE_RESOURCES: non-POSIX variable name Makefile.am:81: (probably a GNU make extension) Makefile.am:120: warning: addprefix data/icons/,$(data_icons_public_icons: non-POSIX variable name Makefile.am:120: (probably a GNU make extension) Makefile.am: error: required file './README' not found Makefile.am: error: required file './ChangeLog' not found configure.ac:10: error: required file 'config.h.in' not found Makefile.am:78: warning: source file 'src/resources.c' is in a subdirectory, Makefile.am:78: but option 'subdir-objects' is disabled automake: warning: possible forward-incompatibility. automake: At least a source file is in a subdirectory, but the 'subdir-objects' automake: automake option hasn't been enabled.

if you need more info from me just let me know, in the mean time I will try to noob my self through the internet so see if I can figgure this out.

Please ignore this issue, I will report back with a new one if I do not manage to figure this out later.
