从Eclipse Autotools插件执行自动制作

Question

I recently installed the autotools plugin for eclipse. I made the Makefile.am for each source subdirectory. I also included the AM_INIT_MAKEFILE macro in the configure.ac file. The plugin DOES use autoreconf -i . The problem is that I get an error anytime I try to build that says,
config.status: error: cannot find input file: 'Makefile.in'
Which indicates that automake was never ran. Any ideas?

I made a beginner's mistake. I didn't add the extra files automake needs to actually function and make the Makefile.in. Also to run any autotool (aclocal, automake, autoheader, etc.) go to Project->Invoke Autotools->Invoke (name of autotool)
