Makefile isn't recognized when trying to compile git version of LiVES under Xubuntu 20.04

[Guybrush88]

I was trying to compile the git version of LiVES under Xubuntu 20.04 by following the instructions in this page: http://lives-video.com/index.php?do=code When launching the "make" command, I get this error:

make: *** Nessun obiettivo specificato e nessun makefile trovato. Arresto.

which means that there's no specified target and no makefile is found, so the operation stopped. I checked and the LiVES folder contains the makefile called "Makefile.am"

This is a full trace of the process I executed:

~/LiVES$ ./autogen.sh --verbose && ./configure --prefix=~/.lives && make

Warning:  Unsupported macros were found in ./configure.ac

The configure.ac file was scanned in order to determine if any
unsupported macros are used that exceed the minimum version
settings specified within this file.  As such, the following macros
should be removed from configure.ac or the version numbers in this
file should be increased:

AC_GNU_SOURCE

Ignorantly continuing build preparation ... 
autoconf

Warning: autoconf seems to have succeeded by removing the following options:
    AUTOCONF_OPTIONS="-f"

Removing those options should not be necessary and indicate some other
problem with the build system.  The build preparation is highly suspect
and may result in configuration or compilation errors.  Consider
reviewing the minimum GNU Autotools version settings contained in
this script along with the macros being used in your configure.ac file.

I'm installing everything now, so I guess this ticket can be closed. Thanks
