I've made the same mistake myself! The official distribution archives are not available via the cgit interface. cgit doesn't know about FSF deployment procedures and hasn't been taught. As noted in the RC announcement email[1], you need to get the distribution archive from the alpha.gnu.org website. https://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/groff/ > How do I configure the makefile? I fail to see a ./configure script. Carlos's response here was correct--you have to use the INSTALL.REPO instructions if you want to build from the Git repository--but if you want to provide feedback on the release candidate, then that's not the procedure to follow.
