Explain the issue with the documentation, please be verbose.

The installation instructions says run ../configure however, the release tar ball for this fork doesn't come with a configure script like the original rofi release

running autoconf which gives this output:

configure.ac:4: warning: The macro `AC_CONFIG_HEADER' is obsolete.
configure.ac:4: You should run autoupdate.

configure.ac:170: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_CONDITIONAL
configure.ac:176: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_PATH_GLIB_2_0

then running configure gave this:

./configure: line 4149: syntax error near unexpected token `-Wall'
./configure: line 4149: `AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE(-Wall -Werror foreign subdir-objects dist-xz)'

how do i solve this?

Using wayland display server protocol

• [X] No, my documentation issue is not about running rofi using the wayland display server protocol

I've checked if the issue exists in the latest stable release

• [X] Yes, I have checked the problem exists in the latest stable version
