how to install when there is no makefile

I tried to install utimer (https://launchpad.net/utimer) by following the below steps.

Code:

---

$ tar -zvxf utimer-0.4.tar.gz
$ cd utimer-0.4 /utimer-0.4
$ ./configure /utimer-0.4$ ls 
aclocal.m4  autogen.sh  config.h.in  configure    COPYING  depcomp  INSTALL   
 Makefile.am    Makefile.in  mkinstalldirs  po      README.in AUTHORS    ChangeLog 
config.log  configure.ac  data    Doxyfile  install-sh  Makefile.decl  missing      NEWS          README  src /utimer=0.4

$ make make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.

---

How shall I proceed?

Try reading the INSTALL file and see what it says.

Running ./configure should generate the Makefile. It did for me:

Code:

---

$ tar -zxf utimer-0.4.tar.gz
$ cd utimer-0.4
$ ./configure
$ make
