build-essential does not cover automake.

but the basic idea is still correct.

since many externals have similar build-dependencies, you could also
start by installing the build-dependencies of a pd-external that is
already packaged for Debian.
e.g.

# apt-get build-dep pd-zexy

will install everything that is needed to compile the zexy for Debianm,
which includes (apart from a compiler), also automake, autoconf and
(most important) puredata-dev (the header-files for compiling *any*
pd-external)

when you try to run "./configure" and that fails because there is no
"configure" script, but there is a "configure.ac" (or "configure.in"),
you first need to create the configure-script from that.
./autogen.sh will do that for you.
there are various ways to do so, but usually you ought to follow what
you read in files named INSTALL or README (in the case of Pd, checkout
the INSTALL.txt).

unfortunately, documentation is sometimes outdated or contradictory; so
it's hard to give general advice how to deal with that (apart from
asking someone who has experience).
