Hi all,

I have obtained the sources via git from [GitHub - nginx/nginx: An official read-only mirror of http://hg.nginx.org/nginx/ which is updated hourly. Pull requests on GitHub cannot be accepted and will be automatically closed. The proper way to submit changes to nginx is via the nginx development mailing list, see http://nginx.org/en/docs/contributing\_changes.html](https://github.com/nginx/nginx)  
,  
but seem to be missing a ‘configure’ script.

Where/how do I get that?
