Hi Eric,

The build process is separated in 2 processes, the sources (fetching and
extracting the sources) and the build (configuring, compiling and
installing).

The build process is made of 4 steps: configure, compile, install and there
are default impletations for several build system types: makefiles,
autotools and cmake.

BuildType.MAKEFILE is for pure makefile projects bzip2 that don't use
autotools or cmake to generate makefiles only need to call make && make
install, so if foo is an autotools project that needs a configure step, you
can't use this backend. Why are you setting this backend instead of using
the default one which is the autotools one?

It's also quite difficult to debug this issue without knowing exactly what
bar and foo are, so if you could give us more details we will be able to
give you better answers :)

Andoni
