The "problem" was introduced in November 2010 in commit http://gitorious.org/fg/flightgear/commit/a6458c2ed64757b1f416b0035df142d29359239e
The change of line 17 triggers the change of string 'FlightGear' to 'flightgear' in the Makefile. However, the change of AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE is preferred since the previous usage of the macro in flightgear is deprecated. The pre-Npv2010 usage of AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE does not match the default automake naming scheme. Remember autotools is created by unix-people and they are generally not CamelCase friendly. The AC_INIT line sets many strings (such as PACKAGE_NAME to FlightGear) but not string PACKAGE that is actually set by AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE to flightgear. The PACKAGE string is used to derive the tar-ball name. There is probably ways around it but I suggest that FlightGear data directories are renamed to flightgear. Or follow Curt's --fg-root advice Cheers, Jari On 2011-01-08 17.38, Curtis Olson wrote: > I'm not seeing where PACKAGE is explicitly set anywhere in configure.ac or > Makefile.am > > This might not be a change we made, but perhaps a change in the underlying > autotools software defaults? > > In configure.ac we have: > > AC_INIT(FlightGear, m4_esyscmd([cat ./version | tr -d '\n']), [ > http://www.flightgear.org]) > > I *think* that this is where @PACKAGE@ get's defined for the autoconf > system, and as you can see, it's still properly capitalized in our > configuration.
