how to make autoconf?

[Manuel Morbitzer]

Hello,

I want to install a new version of autoconf.

1. Step:
git clone git://git.sv.gnu.org/autoconf

2. Step
cd autoconf

3. Step
make
-> 
There seems to be no Makefile in this directory.
You must run ./configure before running `make'.
make: *** [abort-due-to-no-makefile] Error 1

4. Step
./configure
-> zsh: no such file or directory: ./configure

??? 

5. Step
automake
-> 
configure.ac:20: error: Autoconf version 2.60 or higher is required
configure.ac:20: the top level
autom4te: /usr/bin/m4 failed with exit status: 63
automake: autoconf failed with exit status: 63


Surely it should be easy to compile autoconf. Autoconf and in any case. :-)

Best regards
