Well, it is meant as a help for typos. You define the variable main_SOURCES, which usually means that the program named 'main' is to be compiled from the source files listed in that variable. For the program to be registered as such, add it to bin_PROGRAMS, or noinst_PROGRAMS or similar, e.g., bin_PROGRAMS = main If that doesn't help you, then it would be good if you showed us your core/Makefile.am so we could help better.
