No: the \ is used to split list of files with new line; so it must NOT 
be put after the last element of a list

this is the correct syntax

javalog.style lilypond.style \
lang.map outlang.map

I'm afraid once the (wrong) Makefile is generated things are kind of 
spoiled...  you'd better off starting a new build, since even if you 
changed and corrected the Makefile.am you still need the Makefile to 
regenerate the Makefile...  you may want to manually generate the 
Makefile fixing that wrong line, touch Makefile.am and try to run make again

as above, you need to fix the problem in the Makefile

it used to work since without --enable-maintainer-mode the Makefiles are 
not regenerated even if you changed the Makefile.am (sorry, I just 
remembered this behavior)

please, try to start a new build :)

hope to hear from you soon

cheers
