Also edit configure.in and remove macros that deal with ANSI C tests
because you're using C++ which is a superset of ANSI C++. If you're using
C++, consider using AC_LANG_CPLUSPLUS. Remove all macros that deal with
finding gtk headers or libraries and use
"AM_PATH_GTK(1.2.0,,AC_MSG_ERROR(xdl 0.1 needs GTK))" instead. I don't
know if there is an autoconf macro for Gtk--, if there is, put it in.

Or for non-gcc compilers that don't have the automatic dependency
generating option:

  automake --foreign --include-deps --add-missing Makefile

> % ./configure
> % make

To complete your example, the Makefile.am looks like:

bin_PROGRAMS   = xdl
xdl_SOURCES    = xdl.cc foo.cc bar.cc
INCLUDES       = @GTK_CFLAGS@
xdl_LDADD      = @GTK_LIBS@
CLEANFILES     = *~
DISTCLEANFILES = .deps/*.P
