make: *** No rule to make target 'ell/util.c' needed by 'ell/util.lo'

I need to install ofono, so I cloned this ofono repository and did autoreconf -fi and ./configure in the directory. But when I am running make or sudo make install I am encountering the following error:

make[1]: *** No rule to make target 'ell/util.c' needed by 'ell/util.lo' Stop.
Makefile:2093: recipe for target 'all' failed
make: *** [all] Error 2

I checked the folders and ell/util.c exists, but ell/util.lo does not. I also tested on another PC and I'm also getting the same error. Are there any dependencies or steps I missed?

ofono-1.31/ell/util.h : util.h is a link to "ofono-1.31/../ell/ell/util.h", i.e. a directory ell/ outside the ofono-1.31/ directory, like this :

/home/name/tmp/
├── ofono-1.31/
├── ell/

Download "ell" :

cd [folder with ofono]/
git clone 

.... and run ./configure && make in ofono-1.31/ again.
