Please read INSTALL.REPO in the same directory, it says

	     Building and Installing Emacs from the Repository

  ...
  To use the autotools, run the following shell command to generate the
  'configure' script and some related files, and to set up your git
  configuration:

    $ ./autogen.sh

  You can then configure your build as follows:

    $ ./configure


> * Read INSTALL

> * Tells me to run `./configure`

> * That does not exist. README references it too
>
> * Must run `./autogen.sh` first
