It is a required build step to run ./autogen.sh, as it generates ./configure,
which in turn generates the Makefile.
The readme did not reflect this.

Not exactly. This is only needed for users who cherry-pick source files instead of using a release tarball from the releases list of main page of ntfs-3g. The README is probably not clear about it, and should mention "released tarball" instead of "source code".

When building from a cloned repo, it is a required build step to run
./autogen.sh, as it generates ./configure, which in turn generates
the Makefile. The readme did not reflect this.

Ah, that's what I was missing. I adapted the wording a little, do you think it's better now?
