There is a problem with the Packager for autotools.  I am still trying to figure out whether it is something in the Package.module:MakeAutotoolsPackage method or in one of the data/install/ template files. Essentially even though the "COMPONENT_build" AC_SUBST seems to be set correctly (to '1') the "COMPONENT_name" AC_SUBST is not being set.

This happens as far back as the ./configure stage as per config.log excerpt below:

## ----------------- ##
## Output variables. ##
## ----------------- ##

ACLOCAL='${SHELL} /home/bb/paddys-hill-workarea/horseUtil-0.0.16/missing aclocal-1.14'
AMTAR='$${TAR-tar}'
AM_BACKSLASH='\'
AM_DEFAULT_V='$(AM_DEFAULT_VERBOSITY)'
AM_DEFAULT_VERBOSITY='1'
AM_V='$(V)'
AUTOCONF='${SHELL} /home/bb/paddys-hill-workarea/horseUtil-0.0.16/missing autoconf'
AUTOHEADER='${SHELL} /home/bb/paddys-hill-workarea/horseUtil-0.0.16/missing autoheader'
AUTOMAKE='${SHELL} /home/bb/paddys-hill-workarea/horseUtil-0.0.16/missing automake-1.14'
AWK='gawk'
COMPONENT_build='1'
COMPONENT_name=''
CYGPATH_W='echo'


as a result the autotools package will not "make install" properly - it creates a /usr/lib/gambas/.gambas file etc.

I suspect (but am not sure) the bit of code that creates the configure.ac file at ~line 1967 of the Package.module - I beleive GB_INIT_PROJECT needs two arguments, the second being the component name.

Have to go out today so I won't have a chance to add any further info till later.

bruce
