Thank you for the answer.
I add some steps which were necessary with the git source I obtained

    $ ./autogen.sh

more about the previous line in README.GIT

beware of the last line above if no Info-directory-list is defined for
your emacs (as is the case for me). By the way $INFOPATH seems not to be
recognized.
