The tutorial I am following is the automake hello world. I am compiling a code using GTK+2 and C language

hp@ubuntu:~/amhello$ autoreconf --install
configure.ac:2: installing `./install-sh'
configure.ac:2: installing `./missing'
src/Makefile.am: installing `./depcomp'
hp@ubuntu:~/amhello$ ./configure

checking for gcc... gcc
checking whether the C compiler works... yes
checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out

checking whether we are cross compiling... no

hp@ubuntu:~/amhello$ make
make  all-recursive
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/hp/amhello'
Making all in src
make[2]: Entering directory `/home/hp/amhello/src'
Makefile:448: *** missing separator.  Stop.
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/hp/amhello/src'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/hp/amhello'
make: *** [all] Error 2

This is the line number 448 of Makefile ~/amhello % cat src/Makefile.amz

My code C is as below 

#include<config.h>
#include<stdio.h>
#include<gtk/gtk.h>

void static call(GtkWidget *widget,gpointer data)
{
g_print("%s \n",(gchar*) data);
}
int main(int agrc, char *agrv[])
{
gtk_init(&agrc,&agrv);
GtkWidget *window,*button;
window=gtk_window_new(GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL);
g_signal_connect(window,"delete-event",G_CALLBACK(gtk_main_quit),NULL);
gtk_window_set_title(GTK_WINDOW(window),"one button");
button=gtk_button_new_with_label("hello world");
g_signal_connect(button,"clicked",G_CALLBACK(call),(gpointer) "hello world");
gtk_container_set_border_width(GTK_CONTAINER(window),10);
gtk_container_add(GTK_CONTAINER(window),button);
gtk_widget_show_all(window);
gtk_main();
return (0);
}

Contents of the src/Makefile.am are given below

bin_PROGRAMS = hello
hello_SOURCES = main.c

I figured out what was the error now another error is occuring when I use make command

hp@ubuntu:~/amhello$ make
make  all-recursive
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/hp/amhello'
Making all in src
make[2]: Entering directory `/home/hp/amhello/src'
gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I..     -g -O2 -MT main.o -MD -MP -MF .deps/main.Tpo -c -o    main.o main.c
main.c:3:20: fatal error: gtk/gtk.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
make[2]: *** [main.o] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/hp/amhello/src'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/hp/amhello'
make: *** [all] Error 2

You likely made an error when copying and pasting the text for Makefile.am and src/Makefile.am from the website

~/amhello % cat src/Makefile.am
bin_PROGRAMS = hello
hello_SOURCES = main.c
~/amhello % cat Makefile.am
SUBDIRS = src
dist_doc_DATA = README


Specifically there are TWO DIFFERENT files here -

  1. src/Makefile.am should contain the two lines

    bin_PROGRAMS = hello
hello_SOURCES = main.c

  2. Makefile.am should contain the two lines

    SUBDIRS = src
dist_doc_DATA = README

You probably pasted everything (including the line ~/amhello % cat Makefile.am) into your src/Makefile.am file
