You need to stand on the nginx root folder and execute:
auto/configure

Subject: Building from source code

Hello!
My name is yohan, I am interested in helping out with nginx. I've read the links about building the project from the source code in the mercurial repo and I have that cloned. However, there isn't a configure bash script in the root level of the project as this pagehttp://nginx.org/en/docs/configure.html seems to imply. the auto/ directory has one, but then the paths are not configured. I downloaded a stable version from herehttp://nginx.org/en/download.html and built that successfully, but I'm guessing contributors don't work there.

I apologize if this problem is rather fundamental. I hope to hear back soon.
Thank you
