Please try web search before posting here.. I did a search for "configure.ac:7: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_SUBST" and got quite a few hits..
One link has the exact same error as you get.. Here is the link - http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?t=63780
The solution given there is to install libtool and try again. Try that first..

Thanks for greeting
But it doesn't change any thing
I installed these pkg before you warn me
#pacman -S gcc autoconf automake glib2 pango startup-notification libxcursor libxfixes libsm libxml2 cvs m4 libtool
But it was my fault
I must say that which packages I installed
Thank you

Openbox is in the repositories - there is no need to compile it (and, if you are new to Arch, you should use pacman to install applications until you are familiar with your system).
Follow the wiki instructions: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Openbox

Total curiosity, and sorry to threadjack if it's seen as such....but why aren't you using a simple 'pacman -S openbox' and installing the precompiled binaries? I mean, I left gentoo because I hated recompiling my DE every week, there really isn't a noticeable speedboost from it...
EDIT: 30 seconds too slow!

Thank you for responds
I wanna compile this because I'm writing an instruction for Persian Linux users ( all distributions )
any way thank you All
I finally find the solution accidentally
I must install these packages ( I forgot to install make and pkg-config)
for other that want to compile openbox on Arch
use this command
#pacman -S gcc autoconf automake glib2 pango startup-notification libxcursor libxfixes libsm libxml2 cvs m4 libtool pkg-config make
If I have any problem I will ask you
so please ANSWER
