build-aux/bin/bootstrap: not found

What I expected to see

I want to build urbi on a debian or ubuntu so I can adapt it for any device I would need to use it. (laptop, raspberry pi, etc..)

What I get

I cannot start the build and cannot find any help. (the suggested help to see must be built first through the latex compilation...) Seems a little tricky to get to a compilation for the newbie.

Steps to reproduce

On Ubuntu 12.04 LTS I do the following:

git clone https://github.com/urbiforge/urbi.git
cd urbi
./bootstrap

I get:

Sorry for the long delay in answering! The proper way to recompile is described in the main project page here:
https://github.com/urbiforge/urbi
You can access also a precompiled doc in pdf or html format from this page.

I would also recommend trying to run the docker container, as described at the end of the project page:
docker run --net host urbiforge/urbi
rlwrap nc localhost 54000
