Are you using autotools? Last I knew they were outdated, writing stuuf for automake-1.4 which won't work anymore. I was using it for awhile to fix-up a few source packages didn't use autoconf.

If you need to write your own macros and stuff, the best way is probably to study or plagiarize other source packages.

The autotools are alive and happy:

for help see:

and maybe your macros are already written:

the autoconf macro archive scripts ready to use
