[bt-devel] Makefile.am trouble

[Sven Vollbehr]

Your problem seems to be quite easy. Either you touch AUTHORS or leave 
the foreign option enabled. You can just comment the dist-bzip2 and then 
it works again. If there is no foreign option, automake assumes that you 
have a GNU package or similar, which requires AUTHORS file.

Dunno if it works but it's worth to try.

here try AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = foreign # dist-bzip2
