Gah, I was assuming he was building from git, not a tarball. I don't know why. Sorry about that.

Actually, config.h is generated by running ./configure.

No, you will not need them for normal compilation from tarballs.

The GNU build system is constructed precisely with that goal that such
special tools are only needed on the developer's system, *not* on the
target system where you compile the programs or libraries.

What exactly prevents you from running configure?  You don't have
anything like a POSIX shell there and can't have anything like that
there?

This approach might go smoothly for hello-world.  But the build process
of most packages is much more complex.  If you want to replicate it you
must study very carefully what the original Makefiles do.

config.h is generated by configure from config.h.in and contains all
kinds of information gathered about the system.  You have to fill the
information manually.  It is likely you will need handle similarly
a number of other files.
