Makefiles and libraries problem

[Matí­as Alejandro Torres]

Hi,

I'm a complete newbie with making automake makefiles. Before writing to 
this list I read the manual , I tried to look at source codes but I 
can't get things done.

Lets say i have a program i want to build and two libraries that resides 
in the same tarball, this is what the program structure looks:

src:
   Source code *.c *.h      #binary

   database/   #This should be a shared library.
   gtk/            #This should be a shared library.


The command `make` throws an error when trying to build the database 
directory that says that there is no rule to build the objective `all`


The three makefiles  follow


******************************
The Makefile.am file in the src directory:
******************************

## Process this file with automake to produce Makefile.in

SUBDIRS = database gtk

   -DPACKAGE_LOCALE_DIR=\""$(prefix)/$(DATADIRNAME)/locale"\" \
   -DPACKAGE_SRC_DIR=\""$(srcdir)"\" \

   $(PACKAGE_CFLAGS)

AM_CFLAGS =\
    -Wall\
    -g
