emacs integration

I just installed notmuch and could index from the command line.
I read from the Setup section of the "emacs tips" page (
notmuch at notmuchmail.org ) that integrating to emacs is as simple as
(require 'notmuch).

1. First, I had a hard time to get the el files at all. I finally got
them from github.com/chrisdone/notmuch.git.
Is this ok? Where should I get them otherwise?

2. I put the git repot in ~/.emacs.d/includes/notmuch, and added that
to my load-path:
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/includes/notmuch")
before the require line.
Require seemed to work (besides this error message: "Symbol's value as
variable is void: zenburn-blue")
Anything wrong here?

3. Opening notmuch.el revealed that notmuch had to be built, with
$ sudo make install-emacs.
Unfortunately this yields:
gauthier:~/.emacs.d/includes/notmuch $ sudo make install-emacs
make -C .. install-emacs
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/gauthier/.emacs.d/includes'
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `install-emacs'.  Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/gauthier/.emacs.d/includes'
make: *** [install-emacs] Error 2

I am not sure why the makefile has "-C ..", but I am not either sure
how to solve it.
Where do I go from there?
