I downloaded m4 from here. In the INSTALL it is said that I should first ./configure. But to do that, if I understood correctly, I need to generate configure via autoconf from configure.ac. I do not have autoconf so I downloaded it from here. The problem is that I need m4 to build autoconf. Seems like they depend on each other. How can I install m4?

Yes.

No, there's no need to do that. The configure you need is in the m4 tarball.

How can I install m4?

The old three step: ./configure ; make ; make install;
