Makefile.in is a configuration file used by GNU autoconf. You
should make sure you have autoconf, M4, and automake installed on
your system.
The source directory might already have a "configure" script
present (this is the output of autoconf/automake).
To build, first run:
#>./configure
It will give lots of output as it scans your system for necessary
libraries, etc.
Then you can do a "make".

You are probably building unstripped binaries.
