I believe this one should be used for autotools, assuming you ran autoreconf + 
configure to generate the Makefiles externally. Most notably, the 
MakeFileResolver should parse your Makefiles and find the targets therein.

It's quasi unmaintained since years. If it's not working as intended, then 
your best bet is to dive into that code to figure out what's going on.

Some ideas:

- make files aren't found (out of source build? maybe that's not yet supported 
by this manager?)
- make file isn't parsed properly

Hope that helps
