Are you sure you ran git submodule update --init --recursive? It is at the very beginning of the README.

I've same issue with you.
Could you share your " git submodule update --init --recursive " result.
My system information and excution log is these are....

root@ubuntu:/home/ubuntu/download/p4factory-master# uname -a
Linux ubuntu 4.2.0-42-generic #49~14.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jun 29 20:22:11 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

1. unzip master

2. cd p4factory-master

3. git init

   initialized existing Git repository in /home/ubuntu/download/p4factory-master/.git/

4. git submodule update --init --recursive

   ...nothing.... // I think this should show something package get...

5. ./install_deps.sh

   package get...and install ....including thrift....

6. ./autogen.sh

   ./autogen.sh: line 1: ./autogen.sh: No such file or directory
   ./autogen.sh: line 2: cd: submodules/bm/: No such file or directory
   ./autogen.sh: line 3: cd: submodules/p4-build/: No such file or directory

The repository has submodules and therefore you cannot use the "download .zip" option from Github. You have to clone the repository instead. For example: git clone https://github.com/p4lang/p4factory.git.
The .zip option will lose the information about the submodules.
