[Solved] assistance with automake

Hello, this is my first time using Automake so please bear with me

I made some small changes to the Ristretto image viewer source and I'm trying to compile it.

# aclocal
# automake
automake: `configure.ac' or `configure.in' is required

...looks like there's a problem with "configure.in.in", it lists the extension twice, so I rename it to "configure.in" and try again...

#ls
AUTHORS  autogen.sh  ChangeLog    configure.in.in  COPYING  icons  Makefile.am  NEWS  po    README    ristretto.desktop.in  src  TODO

# automake
configure.in:33: required file `./install-sh' not found
configure.in:33:   `automake --add-missing' can install `install-sh'
configure.in:33: required file `./missing' not found
configure.in:33:   `automake --add-missing' can install `missing'
src/Makefile.am:3: compiling `main.c' with per-target flags requires `AM_PROG_CC_C_O' in `configure.in'
src/Makefile.am: required file `./depcomp' not found
src/Makefile.am:   `automake --add-missing' can install `depcomp'
Makefile.am: required file `./INSTALL' not found
Makefile.am:   `automake --add-missing' can install `INSTALL'
configure.in:34: required file `config.h.in' not found
'

okay I'll try automake --add-missing

# automake --add-missing
src/Makefile.am:3: compiling `main.c' with per-target flags requires `AM_PROG_CC_C_O' in `configure.in'
configure.in:34: required file `config.h.in' not found

This is where I am clueless...

Any tips would be super helpful, also: do you think I should file a bug report for the "configure.in.in" file that seems odd?

Just run the supplied "autogen.sh" in the source.  It should do everything for you.
