Read GNU Coding standards. package gnu-standards
The first thing to read is the make info manual.
Use emacs, tkinfo or pinfo for browsing info manuals,
I like tkinfo and pinfo so I wanted to mention them :)

The manuals for these tools are comprehensive, but you might
also want to look at an online book about autotools at sources.redhat.com

That's part of configuration. autoconf and friends help
you do that.
Also there's a nice package called autoproject in debian. It can
create a pretty complete skeletal project dir.
If you work through that code, the code in GNU hello package,
and examples in autoconf/automake manuals you'll have covered
most of the process.
