automake error: "cannot open > py/Makefile.in"


I am new to automake. When running automake command, there is an error "cannot open > py/Makefile.in: No such file or directory".

How to create that file? And, what is that file for?

If you need further information to answer my question, please do not hesitate to tell me.

The file is usually provided by the same person who gave you the rest of the source code - this message usually means you are running automake from the wrong directory or with the wrong arguments. If you are doing this from scratch, then you need to write a Makefile.in file using your favorite IDE or text editor.
