“Command not found” error in the installation process

Question

Why I receive the following error while trying to install this package? and how can I resolve it?

root@me-System-Product-Name:/home/me/Desktop/mfcuk-master# ls
AUTHORS    configure.ac  INSTALL  Makefile.am  README  TODO
ChangeLog  COPYING       LICENSE  NEWS         src     tools
root@me-System-Product-Name:/home/me/Desktop/mfcuk-master# ./Makefile.am 
./Makefile.am: line 1: SUBDIRS: command not found
./Makefile.am: line 3: style:: command not found

Note that I already searched for SUBDIRS and style packages, but I found nothing.

I also tried apt-get, but same result:

root@me-System-Product-Name:/home/me/Desktop/mfcuk-master# apt-get install SUBDIRS
Reading package lists... Done

root@me-System-Product-Name:/home/me/Desktop/mfcuk-master# apt-get install style

Thanks in advance.

Try the below commands to install it. I cloned it as well and looked in Makefile.am but there is no indication of packages SUBDIRS or style:

automake
autoconf
./configure
make
