Re: autotools.mk

> Has anybody put together a package that uses the standard GNU autotools to configure? Everything I read seems to indicate that the debian/rules file is very simple, yet it is not working for me. It complains that there is no configure file. However, there is definitely a configure file in the source tarball. What actually seems to be the problem is that the source tarball is not extracted into the build area. Shouldn't this happen automatically? Has anybody seen a problem like this?
My rules file is even simpler, just having this within it:
#! /usr/bin/make -f
include /usr/share/cdbs/1/rules/debhelper.mk
include /usr/share/cdbs/1/class/autotools.mk
Then when I use the svn-b alias (svn-buildpackage -us -uc -rfakeroot --svn-ignore) the output is this:
origDir: ..
dpkg-checkbuilddeps

Command dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -rfakeroot failed in <unknown>, how to continue now? [Qri?]: Aborting.
I'm still clueless. Anybody have hints on how to debug? The build process is still a big black box to me.
I did discover the --dont-purge option for svn-buildpackage, it seems to confirm my idea that the source code is not being copied into the build area.
thanks
Scott
