I am trying to install a handy program which takes xyz files and turns them into POVRAY input scripts: github



I have cloned the repository locally, however the first instruction 



"run ./configure" does not exist in any directory.


Is there any way to analyze the src code or makefiles in order to compile this one my own machine?



Maybe I am missing something?




make github

          There appears to be a configure script template in the ac-tools subdirectory:



          $ ls ac-tools/
          aclocal.m4 config.guess config.sub configure.in install-sh Make.conf.in shtool


          You can create the configure script from the template using autoconf



          autoconf -o configure ac-tools/configure.in
          chmod +x configure
          ./configure
