The end-user documentation (INSTALL) says this:

3. BUILDING LCDPROC

As long as you have a working automake, gcc and make, this should work.

 - Run the autogen.sh script to create ./configure
        sh autogen.sh
 - Run the configure script:
        ./configure
 - Run make to build the server and all clients
        make

Should this be changed?

I checked the 0.4.1 release distribution tar file to see what it says;
the INSTALL file is identical.
