Use Bakefile, or cmake, or jam, or something else that really 
understands Windowsisms.  automake can be arm-twisted into supporting 
native Windows builds, but it isn't happy doing it.  I use Bakefile 
myself; it lets you continue using autoconf on the Unixy side of things, 
and Visual Studio, nmake + cl, or mingw on the Windows side.

 Hi,
 
 How can I make use of variables in Makefile.am for automake primaries? I
 want to write Makefile.am as
 
 lib_LIBRARIES = $(PREFIX)mylib.$(LIBSUFFIX)
 libdir = ${prefix}/lib
 $(PREFIX)_mylib_$(LIBSUFFIX)_SOURCES = mylib.c
 
 I can not use libtools. Is there a way, I can achieve this?

I use autoconf/automake/libtool on two projects that compile quite
happily on Unix and windows (MinGW).

But there are two important limits to religious tolerance. First, I have no
right to legal protection against your scepticism, criticism or ridicule.
Religion is too powerful a force, and is too often a cause of injustice or
evil, for it to be immune from discussion and debate.
