ISA-L requires yasm version 1.2.0 or later or nasm v2.11.01 or later. Building with autotools requires autoconf/automake packages.
To build and install the library with autotools it is usually sufficient to run the following:
./autogen.sh
./configure
make
sudo make install
Other targets include: make check, make tests and make perfs.
On Windows use nmake to build dll and static lib:
nmake -f Makefile.nmake
