Build from source from github.com's incubator-guacamole-server source
I checked JIRA and it looks like in 2005 the Guacamole team deliberately
not check in other files that are built using autoconf.
I tried using automake and autoconf to build guacamole server and I *was *stuck
at the following stage.
*$ ./configure --with-init-dir=/etc/init.d*
I get the following error:
*config.status: error: cannot find input file: `Makefile.in'*
*Current status:*
I found the following article after this:
http://www.ifnamemain.com/posts/2014/Mar/13/autoconf_automake/
I followed the article and was able to get past the configuration build
issues.

Albert,Yes, there are files that are deliberately not put in the Git repository. This isn't just a one-off decision or oversight by the Guacamole team - you'll find in many, many cases when source code is distributed that the source control repositories lack those build files, relying on you to "bootstrap" the build (some of them come with a bootstrap.sh file, which executes the commands you found on that page), while an official release source tarball includes many of those things that you need to get going (configure, Makefile.in, etc.) - that is, the source tarball is already bootstrapped and ready to configure and make.
