If the source is obtained directly from git, the file "configure" must be
built with the autoconf tools. In addition, example shell commands are
traditionally preceeded with a "$" instead of a "-", so this convention
is used.

 To compile the source tree from a tarball, simply follow these steps :
 
-- ./configure
-- make
-- make install
+  $ ./configure
+  $ make
+  $ make install
+
+To compile the source tree from a git checkout, use:
+
+  $ autoreconf
+  $ automake --add-missing --gnu
+  $ make
+  $ make install
 
 After running ./configure, you can also go in specific subdirectories and
 use make, make install.
