This is the output when I run automake

address@hidden:~/RSA/trunk%automake
configure.ac:35: required file `src/crack/Makefile.in' not found
configure.ac:35: required file `src/crypt/Makefile.in' not found

So when I do what you said, automake said he can't find Makefile.in
I try to make empty Makefile.am and it's work, autotools generates
Makefile.in and Makefile. But I donc really know if it's good to make
empty Automake.am, what is your opinion?
