Now, in Makefile.am Rules are a bit different than regular makefile?
Makefile.am is written in Automake syntax which is transformed using
the 'automake' program into a portable make syntax so that any 'make'
program should be able to use it. See
https://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/
The GNU Make Makefile you found previously is written in GNU-make
specific syntax. See https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/
However, portable Makefiles (such as produced by GNU Automake) are
written in a portable subset of POSIX make syntax.
I should mention that this is the Autoconf mailing list, intended for
Autoconf, which is related to Automake, but not the same thing.
Automake and GNU make have their own mailing lists.
