Makefile.am/Makefile.in

I am trying to install Dia but when I type the command "make" it cannot find the Makefile since it does not exist. I see a "Makefile.am" and "Makefile.in" only. What are these files and how can I get it to compile?

Try running ./configure first.

Usually the error would say what package it needs, and you have to install the development package for the dependency not just the package.
