issue running automake on GDB source files to generate Makefile.in and config.in

[Zied Guermazi]

hi,

to generate Makefile.in and config.in for gdb I am calling aclocal and 
then automake

when runnig automake in the binutils-gdb and gdb folders, on the head of 
the master branch, I am getting following error

"configure.ac: error: no proper invocation of AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE was found.
configure.ac: You should verify that configure.ac invokes AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE,
configure.ac: that aclocal.m4 is present in the top-level directory,
configure.ac: and that aclocal.m4 was recently regenerated (using aclocal)
automake: error: no 'Makefile.am' found for any configure output"

I am using automake (GNU automake) 1.16.1. the same was tried with 
automake (GNU automake) 1.15.1

please advise on how to generate Makefile.in and config.in files from 
configure.ac (and gdbsupport/common.m4) file

is there a well configured build server I can use to automatically 
generate those files?

Kind Regards

Zied Guermazi
