automake: At least a source file is in a subdirectory, but the

automake: automake option hasn't been enabled.  For now, the corresponding 
output
automake: object file(s) will be placed in the top-level directory.  However,
automake: this behaviour will change in future Automake versions: they will

subdirectory

What I am doing wrong?
