Sorry - no autotools support (yet!).

You will need:
 1) GNU Make (or an equivalent).
 2) An ANSI C compiler (eg: gcc).
 3) libxml2 (http://xmlsoft.org) - the XML parser for GNOME.

Just copy Makefile.linux to Makefile:
 $ cp Makefile.linux Makefile
Then edit Makefile to suit your needs (it's *very* simple).
