Put
  AC_CONFIG_SUBDIRS([d1 d2 l1 l2 src1 src2])
in toplevel configure.ac and
  SUBDIRS = d1 d2 l1 l2 src1 src2
in toplevel Makefile.am, in the order in which you want them configured
resp. built.

Read
  info Autoconf Subdirectories
  info Automake Subpackages
and more generally
  info Automake Directories.
