Re: Where is `configure' script in the emacs source tree?

[Maurizio Vitale]

when you clone the repo you have to run autogen.sh, which among other
things will generate configure from configure.ac
the directions you're following are good for released tarballs, which came
w/ a pre-generated configure script.
you should be able to find instructions on how to compile out of a cloned
repository.
