This does not produce any error but also does not produce any result either. Meanwhile I cloned the source via hg and, SUCCESS - the hg cloned source compiled as expected !

I then did a diff on the Makefiles from hg depot and the source tarball:

96c95
< 	echo $(subst : ,:,$(foreach FILE,$^,$(FILE):)) | escript generate_deps $@ $(EBIN_DIR)
---
> 	escript generate_deps $(INCLUDE_DIR) $(SOURCE_DIR) \$$\(EBIN_DIR\) $@

That's the relevant change that makes it work ... I did not change anything in the hg depot so it's maybe an idea to update the source tarball.

Thanks to Stan for giving the heads-up and for your support, Matthew!!
