Kawa not building on OS X from Git

[Duncan Mak]

Hello,

I'm trying to build a clean tree of Kawa from git.

After running "./configure", I see this error:

configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: error: cannot find input file: `Makefile.in'
configure: error: ./configure failed for bin

and then make fails also:

***@hangul:Kawa (master)$ make
if test ! -e selected-java-source -o \
"%java8 +use:com.sun.net.httpserver +enable:XML -with:jline3
+use:java.awt" != "`cat selected-java-source`"; \
then /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/make do-preprocess; \
fi

echo "%java8 +use:com.sun.net.httpserver +enable:XML -with:jline3
+use:java.awt" >selected-java-source

Making all in bin
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `all'. Stop.
make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

Did you run automake? The instructions say to run ./autogen.sh
which (among other things) runs automake:

I tried running autogen.sh, but there might be some path issues:
