Sorry Norbert, I didn't pay attention to the picture with Windows. Actually you are executing Linux tools, but these tools came with MinGW. In this case you are using the MinGW provided by Git that don't have autoconf. Try to download and install a new copy of MinGW and chose the packages that you need. Then you can open the new MinGW and try to compile again. If you still have problems, an alternative to MinGW is Cygwin.

 git clone github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin.git
cd bitcoin
git tag
git checkout v0.11.2
and when i try to use command ./autogen.sh

./autogen.sh: line 9: autoreconf: command not found.</p>
