Errors with simple example

[Eddy Ilg]

Hi,

I am just getting started with the GNU autotools and I can't get my simple 
example to work. 

Here is what I am stuck with:

'hello.c'
        #include <stdio.h>

        int main()
        {
                printf("Howdy world!\n");
        }
        
'Makefile.am'
        bin_PROGRAMS = hello
        hello_SOURCES = hello.c

'configure.in'
        AC_INIT(hello.c)
        AC_INIT_AUTOMAKE(hello,0.1)
        AC_PROG_CC
        AC_PROG_INSTALL
        AC_OUTPUT(Makefile)

To build Makefiles I run:
% automake
% autoconf
% ./configure
creating cache ./config.cache
./configure: line 524: syntax error near unexpected token 
`AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE(hello,0.1)'
./configure: line 524: `AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE(hello,0.1)'

This 'AM_INIT...' line really exists in the ./configure script. I don't believe 
it should be there, since I haven't found it in other configure scripts. 

Can anyone help me? Is there a bug in the autotools? The example I took from 
'Developing Software with GNU' by Eleftherios Gkioulekas.

Thanks

Eddy
