That's right but you definitely need autoconf in order to do that (as indicated in the error). Notice that you don't necessarily need to run autoconf an the same system on which you want to run the generated configure script. If you have a shared workspace, you may for example install autoconf on a Linux machine and run autogeg.sh there. Afterwards you can run configure on any other system (i.e. Windows, Mac, Solaris..)
