Apparently so, but it's not very clear what. You didn't answer as to
what your build environment is, eg do you have any MacPorts or Homebrew
packages in play. The missing files are supposed to be generated by
Perl scripts, so I'm wondering if you have a broken Perl installation.
Apple's standard Perl works fine for this, which is why I'm suspicious
that you've got some other Perl installed that for some reason is
less fine.

That's about what you need, yes.

?? There's no README.md in our git tree. There's no INSTALL there
either, because it's a generated file. But it's just a flat text
version of the same installation instructions I pointed you to before:
