To create the configure (not configuration) script, you need the GNU autoconf tool.

  • so first i have to run autoconf to generate the configure file ? – BEPP Mar 16 '16 at 12:43
  • Yes. See [the documentation](http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/autoconf.html#Making-configure-Scripts) for details. – choroba Mar 16 '16 at 12:50

You should probably download the latest official release from the FTP server. Releases ship with the configure script.

If you really want to build a Git checkout, you have to install GNU Autoconf and create the configure script by running sh autogen.sh in the libxml2 source directory.
