well, step no. 1 - download source repo via git clone.
git clone git://git.cinelerra-gg.org/goodguy/cinelerra.git  should do it
Step 2 - cd to directory where ./autogen.sh located.
2a - set additional environment variables if you need so via export command
3) run ./autogen.sh
4) run ./configure with all switches you need. (for first try probably
--with-single-user so build will be user-local, no need for installing into
system)
my current build uses "./configure --with-single-user --with-git-ffmpeg=
https://git.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.git" but
ffmpeg.git can be broken at any time by ffmpeg development process :(
5) run make
6) if doing single user build also run make install
7) run it from same directory as bin/cin (you can "ls bin" just to see if
all files were build/installed)

report errors here :)
