See literally the first migration item on
https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/GnomeCommon/Migration

tl;dr: You can open-code it with essentially:
        aclocal --install || exit 1
        glib-gettextize --force --copy || exit 1
        gtkdocize --copy || exit 1
        intltoolize --force --copy --automake || exit 1
        autoreconf --verbose --force --install -Wno-portability || exit
        1

(removing the technologies which you don’t use).
