+To compile the GIT version of GTK+ on your system, you will need to take
several steps to setup the tree for compilation. You can do all these
steps at once by running:
gtk+$ ./autogen.sh

Basically this does the following for you:
gtk+$ aclocal; automake; autoconf
The above commands create the `configure' script. Now you

Note that autogen.sh runs configure for you. If you wish to pass
options like `--prefix=/usr' to `configure' you can give those options
to `autogen.sh' and they will be passed on to `configure'.
