Engage's autogen.sh errors


I got Enlightenment's Engage's source from the Enlightenment CVS repository (including all of Engage's dependencies). I successfully installed all of those (note that the autogen.sh script ran completely errorlessly). But when I went to create a configure script with Engage's source package's autogen.sh script, I got these errors:

Code:
Running aclocal...
aclocal: configure.in: 0: macro `AM_PATH_GTK' not found in library
autoheader: error: AC_CONFIG_HEADERS not found in configure.in
Running autoconf...
configure.in:10: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE
      If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
      See the Autoconf documentation.
configure.in:11: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_CONFIG_HEADER
configure.in:15: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_PROG_CC_STDC
configure.in:18: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_ENABLE_SHARED
configure.in:19: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_PROG_LIBTOOL
configure.in:22: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_SUBST
configure.in:89: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_PATH_GENERIC
configure.in:100: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_DEFINE
configure.in:156: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_CONDITIONAL
Running automake...

automake: src/module/Makefile.am: warning: automake does not support module_la_LDFLAGS being defined conditionally
automake: src/module/Makefile.am: warning: automake does not support EXTRA_DIST being defined conditionally
src/module/Makefile.am:9: warning: automake does not support conditional definition of files_DATA in EXTRA_DIST
checking build system type... powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu
checking host system type... powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu
checking target system type... powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu
./configure: line 1404: syntax error near unexpected token `engage,'
./configure: line 1404: `AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE(engage, 0.0.9)'
I have no idea what these errors mean. ( )

Can anyone be kind enough to inform me on what these errors mean, and give me some pointers on how to solve the problem? Any help appreciated.

"configure.in: 11: required file `./config.h.in' not found"

Looks like it's missing that file. Perhaps a dodgy cvs download?

it's probably a problem with your build environment, double check the versions of your build tools:

Code:
automake: src/module/Makefile.am: warning: automake does not support module_la_LDFLAGS being defined conditionally
automake: src/module/Makefile.am: warning: automake does not support EXTRA_DIST being defined conditionally
src/module/Makefile.am:9: warning: automake does not support conditional definition of files_DATA in EXTRA_DIST
judging by the above, something with your automake is not going to work with this package ( I have 1.9.4 and it works for me)

this isn't a solution by any means. But most people go for the engage dock because ti resembles the OSX dock. You might want to check out KSmoothDock. It is a KDE app, you can find it on kde-look, a simple google for 'ksmoothdock' will take you to it. It is easy to install and use. I am using it on my ArchLinux notebook... but I have tried to do a very OSX-style desktop. see it here
