We don't use autotools any more; we now use CMake.
Ubuntu has CMake as an installable package. It's a Debian derivative, so try running the script tools/debian-setup.sh from the top-level Wireshark source directory to install all the tools and libraries that are necessary to build Wireshark. If you run it with the --install-optional argument, it will also install optional tools and libraries - without some of the optional libraries, some Wireshark features won't work.
The Ninja build tool is faster than make, and CMake can generate files for Ninja if you run it with the -G Ninja flag. See the "Building on Unix" section of the Wireshark Developer's Guide.
