Well, I think we got farther. Now I'm getting:

Creating build-outputs.mk...
Traceback (innermost last):
  File "./gen-make.py", line 176, in ?
    main(conf, gentype, skip_depends=skip, other_options=rest.list)
  File "./gen-make.py", line 43, in main
    generator = gen_module.Generator(fname, verfname, other_options)
  File "build/generator/gen_base.py", line 68, in __init__
    self._extension_map)
  File "build/generator/gen_base.py", line 317, in create_targets
    self.target.add_dependencies(graph, cfg, extmap)
  File "build/generator/gen_base.py", line 639, in add_dependencies
    self.package.replace(".", "_")
AttributeError: 'string' object has no attribute 'replace'
ERROR: gen-make.py failed

If I knew python I'd (try to) fix it myself. :-)

   Thanks!
