i get those missing m4 files warnings (autoconf 2.71); but they may be harmless - i have no trouble with those sed commands - when i run autogen.sh, the final line is: "Patching file po/Makefile.in.in"

that patching section in autogen.sh is a WIP see dd9e6b0 - you could try reverting that change

$ git checkout v0.1.2 autogen.sh

if that does not work, try these changes to autogen.sh and Makefile.am (or the entire patch maybe) 8231a74 - that was a routine autotools upgrade - probably another is needed now

if the build complains about translations, that was the problem i was addressing in dd9e6b0 - probably needs some more work
