I am trying to install cheese from source, and Im not interested in finding a package, because I have source code changes I should like to apply, if I can get it to compile. I have libtool automake, and autotools-dev installed.
When I try to run ./autogen.sh I get this error:
./autogen.sh
**Warning**: I am going to run `configure' with no arguments.
If you wish to pass any to it, please specify them on the
`./autogen.sh' command line.

I have looked on the GNOME wiki, github page, and in the source for a description on compiling, and for similar errors on Google but I have not found a solution yet. Please note, I am simply trying to compile the Un-modified source prior to applying my changes.
UPDATE: I installed some additional packages, not because they were clearly listed as dependencies, but because I read about it on an Arch forum.
sudo apt-get install autoconf gtk-doc-tools yelp-tools appstream-util libx11-dev libgstreamer-plugins-bad1.0-dev libgnome-desktop-3-dev libclutter-gtk-1.0-dev libclutter-gst-3.0-dev libcanberra-gtk3-dev valac
It now compiles, but the compiled program only works in the source folder. The installed binary throws this error when Cheese is called:
$ cheese
cheese: error while loading shared libraries: libcheese.so.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I am running Ubuntu Mate 15.10.
