Dependency Missing.

I have cloned the repo and trying to build the project by the commands
written on the GitHub repo but I run into these errors:
aclocal: warning: couldn't open directory 'ac-helpers': No such file or
directory
possible undefine macro AC_LIB_LINKFLAGS_FROM_LIBS

Searching on Google has lead me to the conclusion that I am missing a
lib-link.m4 file and gnulib has it but I need some help in configuring it
or maybe I am completely missing something else  here any help is
appreciated.

Thanks.
