Hello Everybody:

I am running a Raspberry Pi, and am following a tutorial to create a weather app. I was following this, and was stumped. I found the .desktop files in /usr/share/applications, so created the first file there. I was not sure where the .sh.in file went, so I put that there too, followed along with all the other files on that page. I click on the weather app under my accessories navigation, and click on the app, but it does nothing. I have the .js file located on my desktop. I am new to this, and would like to learn how this works. Much appreciated!

Don't put thise raw files in /usr/share/applications. Put them in a new subdir in your $HOME, for example.
You need to copy and paste these files there:
weatherapp.desktop
weatherapp.sh.in
Makefile.am
configure.ac
autogen.sh

Then, in that directory you need to run:
sh ./autogen.sh
./configure
make
make install

The 'make install' command will place the finished files in the proper place.

it says when I run the first command, that autoreconf cannot be found.

So, you need to install the package 'autoconf'. You probably also are needing the package 'automake'.
