This should be in the automake manuals, there's a section on libtool.

I used FreeBSD until recently, they did work. One of the reasons why we run
automake -i
is that not using -i creates Makefiles that only work on GNUmake.
I don't know if you really ask this, but here's a portable way to translate a
list of .c files
into a .o list :
OBJS= ${SRCS:.c=.o}
