Hi,

The error message says "configure: error: Xaw include headers not found".
What this means is that you need to install some development packages
for your Linux distribution so that 'autogen.sh' is able to configure
your build.
If you do not resolve this problem (that is, run autogen.sh until it manages
to configure your build without errors), you will not be able to
compile LibreOffice,
and all other commands that you try will fail.

So, what do you need to do with "configure: error: Xaw include headers
not found"?
Start the package manager of your distribution and search for packages that
contain the 'Xaw' string. Identify the development packages for Xaw and install.
Then, run autogen.sh until it manages to configure your build. Then,
you can continue
with the next command in the build instructions.

(For Ubuntu, the package is called 'libxaw7-dev'. Might be similar to Fedora.)
