automake exit code = 1

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. autoconf
2. automake -a

I'm trying to make FreeBSD port.
In port's Makefile:
--
AUTOMAKE_ARGS=-a
USE_AUTOTOOLS=autoconf automake
--
===>  Configuring for chan_datacard-201
configure.in: no proper invocation of AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE was found.
configure.in: You should verify that configure.in invokes AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE,
configure.in: that aclocal.m4 is present in the top-level directory,
configure.in: and that aclocal.m4 was recently regenerated (using aclocal).
configure.in:8: installing `./config.guess'
configure.in:8: installing `./config.sub'
configure.in:49: installing `./install-sh'
automake-1.11: no `Makefile.am' found for any configure output
*** Error code 1
Stop in /usr/home/bas/ports/chan_datacard.
--
Files are created, but exit code = 1 -> build fails.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
r201

Please provide any additional information below.

Yes, configure file is created and make by hands is successful.
Problem is in exit code. When it = 1, automatic build through freebsd ports 
system fails.

similar problems.
