Merry Christmas Kevin.

I think that it would help if you read some of the documentation.

An overview of what happens is that you start with a Makefile.am.  You run: 'automake' and 
this produces a Makefile.in.  Then you run 'autoconf' and it builds a 'configure' script. 
  You then run the 'configure' script and it produces a Makefile.  The details are in the 
documentation for 'automake' and 'autoconf'.

There is also the issue of libtool.  You might need to run 'libtoolize' first.

And, 'autoheader', and probably some other stuff that I don't remember at the moment.
