It was necessary to compile dash, download the source from here http://git.kernel.org/cgit/utils/dash/dash.git
And I do in the directory of the repository ./configure --help , but the configure file as it turned out not, the repository root has the following files and directories: autogen.sh ChangeLog.O COPYING src ChangeLog configure.ac Makefile.am
Also src has Makefile.am
I understand that I need to somehow generate a configure using Automake
How to do it?

There is exactly one executable file in the root of the repository - autogen.sh . here it should be run:

 $ ./autogen.sh

as a result, a confrigure file will be generated (including).

Well, then you already know what to do.
