Don't do that.  We don't support people directly editing Makefile.

Update "Makefile.am" instead.  Make sure you have autoconf and automake

You do that by updating Makefile.am and trying the make again, so that 
the automake-generated Makefile knows that it *has* to generate that 
dependency file.
