Hi There,

	It seems that the C++ bindings for autoproject are failing:

Program Name            : testap
Description             : test app
Version                 : 0.1.0
Language                : c++
Interface               : cli
Parser Generator        : argp
Long Options            : dry-run no-warn output brief verbose interactive
Author                  : Marcus Crafter
Email-Address           : crafterm@osa.de
Date                    : March 25, 2003
11 files processed
configure.in not found - either skeleton library was not found,
or requested combination of options is not available
using c++ - adding AC_PROG_CXX to configure.in
awk: cannot open configure.in (No such file or directory)

	Cheers,

	Marcus

   The cause of this bug seems to be that there aren't any skeleton
files under /usr/share/autoproject/cli/c++ for any parser generator
option other than 'none'. Works fine when 'none' is (auto)selected as
the parser generator.

   The options to fix this bug seem to be:
1. Supply the missing parser generator files.
2. Only allow 'none' to be selected as the parser generator when using
c++.

   I'm not going to supply a patch because I feel that this should be
the decision of the maintainer.

PS FFS, this bug is *18* *years* *old*.

Hello Ron,

There is no maintainer.

Are you actively using autoproject? Upstream appears to have
vanished a long time ago.

Personally I would push for removing autoproject from Debian if
nobody speaks up ...

Hi Chris.

   I use autoproject occasionally, whenever I start up a new project
that requires GNU make (say, once or twice a year). It's handy for
creating all those weird files that go with GNU make.

   It's ok with me if you want to remove it from Debian. I'll just grab
the source and maintain it myself.

Thanks,

 .....Ron
