Dear Maintainer,<br>
<br>
The dh_auto_configure invokes "configure" scripts assuming some arguments like<br>
"--bindir" and "--installdir" will be re-evaluated by configure. Apparently,<br>
this is the behaviour of those generated by autoconf.<br>
<br>
However, there are other utilities that generate configure scripts that follow<br>
conventions similar to autoconf, e.g., MakeKit. But those configure scripts use<br>
the given "--bindir" like arguments verbatim.<br>
<br>
So, for example, dh_auto_configure invokes configure with "--prefix=/usr" and<br>
"--bindir=${prefix}/bin" among others. Autoconf generated scripts will<br>
internally expand the value, resulting in "--bindir=/usr/bin". On the other<br>
hand, MakeKit generated configure will not perform any variable expansion,<br>
trying to use "${prefix}/bin" as the path for binaries.<br>
<br>
The fix is as trivial as expanding "$prefix" from the Perl code, since the scope<br>
of its usage is very small. It has been generated fom revision 56591da4f.<br>
<br>
Please find the patch attached.<br>
