Build from sources failed: config.status: error: cannot find input file: `po/Makefile.in.in'
I tried to build the master branch on Ubuntu 19.4. First of all the build instruction from the README file are not complete because the ./configure
script was just absent. But I found that I need to run aclocal and autoconf:

configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: creating Makefile
config.status: creating shared-mime-info.pc
config.status: error: cannot find input file: `po/Makefile.in.in'
But when I copied the po/Makefile.in.in
from v10 tarball then it passed.
Looks like it was removed from sources.
Could you point me out what I doing wrong?
