Difficulty trying to configure and installing XAPIAN!

Hi I'm trying to configure and install XAPIAN for hacking.

The problem it's the current XAPIAN-Master of github it's not working.

I try to configure the XAPIAN-CORE and he don´t recognize ./configure
or if I run from a build folder ../configure

I'm working in a CENTOS 7 and i installed this prerequisits:

yum group install "Development Tools" #for GCC 4.8.5 and make 3.8.2
yum install zlib-devel.x86_64 #for zlib-devel-1.2.7-17.el7.x86_64
yum install libuuid-devel.x86_64 #for  libuuid-devel-2.23.2-52.el7.x86_64
yum install uuid-devel.x86_64 #for uuid-devel-1.6.2-26.el7.x86_64
yum install graphviz #for graphviz-2.30.1-21.el7.x86_64
yum install help2man #for help2man-1.41.1-3.el7.noarch
yum install python-docutils
#for  python-docutils-0.11-0.3.20130715svn7687.el7.noarch

I installed xapian-core, xapian-omega, and xapian-bidings 1.4.5 in one
centos 7 and I did not have this problem.

Another question is what is the best way to configure xapian to be able to
change the c++ base code?

Thank you for your attention,
