autoconf problems on x86_64 ubuntu 10.10

Trying to compile from source using the master branch
https://github.com/rcaelers/workrave.git on Ubuntu 10.10.

Installed these dev packages, which are the ones listed in the README.

> $ sudo apt-get install libglib2.0-dev libglibmm-2.4-dev libgtkmm-2.4-dev
> libgtk2.0-dev libatk1.0-dev libpango1.0-dev libpangomm-1.4-dev libcairo2-dev
> libcairomm-1.0-dev libdbus-1-dev libdbus-glib-1-dev libgconf2-dev
> libgconfmm-2.6-dev libgdome2-dev libgstreamer0.10-dev
> libsigc++-2.0-dev liborbit2-dev libbonobo2-dev libpanel-applet2-dev


The INSTALL file assumes a configure script already exists. There was no
configure script, so I generated one using autoconf and got these warnings:

$ autoconf

>       If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.

Running ./configure, I get this error:

> $ ./configure
> ./configure: line 2542: syntax error near unexpected token `config.h'
> ./configure: line 2542: `AM_CONFIG_HEADER(config.h)'


Could someone please point me in the right direction?

Also, is there a developer mailing list that I should be emailing instead,
or is this fine?

Thanks,
Edward
