It sounds like either configure or autogen.sh failed. > But I can see two Makefiles in the current directory: Makefile.in and > Makefile.am Those are not Makefiles. They are makefile templates meant for autoconf and automake respectively. That is why you get an error when you feed them to make. > When specify Makefile.in as Makefile to make command, I got > Makefile.in:16: *** missing separator.

Try the cmake build instead of the former autotools-based build system. If you install cmake for your platform ( http://www.cmake.org/cmake/resources/software.html ), then the build steps should be something along the lines of "cmake . && make && sudo make install".
