I think Enrico uses Waf - this is probably easiest but you will need to
install Python. The link below is for Geany but it's the same procedure:

It might be possible to use the autotools build system but you will
probably have to install tons of autotools stuff and also I don't know
of anyone who's done this, so there could be issues.
