Actually the README does state
  ./configure                                 # run the `configure' script
  make                                        # build gedit

But the errors the OP encountered are more than likely caused
by missing dependencies. That is why I alerted the OP about the
list of dependencies.

I had made the comment due to my exposure to other packages' way of 
building,
and prior to looking at the README file.

At any rate, creating a build dir outside the source tree and running
the configure and make in the build dir serves to keep the source tree 
pristine (if there is such thing :)
