configure.ac:5: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE

In a Debian 8.10 when I try to create the configure script via autotools I get the following result:
root@CMBasterisk:/usr/src/jansson-2.10# autoconf -i
configure.ac:5: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE
If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
See the Autoconf documentation.
configure.ac:12: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_PROG_LIBTOOL
configure.ac:13: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_CONDITIONAL
root@CMBasterisk:/usr/src/jansson-2.10# ./configure
configure: error: cannot find install-sh, install.sh, or shtool in . "."/.

Any hints?
