Automake variables resolution

I am a newbie and I am trying to learn from sourcecodes. Now I have problem understanding (for learn!) autotools: here I have some variables. In this following variable declaration-assignment

mousepad_CFLAGS = \
    $(GLIB_CFLAGS) \
    $(GTK_CFLAGS) \
    $(GTHREAD_CFLAGS) \
    $(GTKSOURCEVIEW_CFLAGS) \
    $(PLATFORM_CFLAGS) \
    -DMOUSEPAD_GSETTINGS_SCHEMA_DIR=\""$(datadir)/glib-2.0/schemas"\"

The variables GLIB_CFLAGS GTK_CFLAGS GTHREAD_CFLAGS GTKSOURCEVIEW_CFLAGS PLATFORM_CFLAGS were not declared. From where their origins?

Also at the bottom there is another undeclared variable reference:

@GSETTINGS_RULES@

Those variables are defined by the configure script when it is run (depending on what configure found and where) and then those variable definitions are inserted into the Makefile generated from Makefile.in.
