make install fails

I've finally managed to build GST 3.2.4
make: done
make check: done, all passed (except 5 which is not run)
make install (taken from stderr):

gst-package: Invalid argument
gst: couldn't load system file 'Builtins.st': No such file or directory
gst: image bootstrap failed, use option --kernel-directory
make[3]: *** [install-data-hook] Error 1
make[2]: *** [install-data-am] Error 2
make[1]: *** [install-am] Error 2
make: *** [install-recursive] Error 1

previously, I got c:/gst/share/smalltalk/kernel not readable because kernel directory doesn't exist, so I create it manually before ended up above.

stdout also gives something interesting:

I tried to manually copy the kernel files and re-run, and here's the result:
make.zip

Since nobody seems to know why, I would like to know the directory structure of the distribution package. I'll try to manually copy the required files.

Sorry for the delay.

Please always include the full output of configure and make.

I found the core problem. It comes from this command:

XZIP="/c/fpc/bin/i386-win32/zip"  ./gst-tool.exe gst-package --kernel-dir "./kernel" --image gst.im --dist --copy --all-files --destdir "" --target-dir="c:/gst/share/smalltalk" --srcdir "." ./packages.xml

which is an interpretation of:

$(GST_PACKAGE) --dist --copy --all-files \
          --destdir "$(DESTDIR)" --target-dir="$(pkgdatadir)" \
          --srcdir "$(srcdir)" $(srcdir)/packages.xml

in install-data-hook target of the top level Makefile. That command gives first output:

mkdir "E:\Sources\smalltalk-3.2.4\--target-dir=c:"

which is really strange as it would be invalid directory name. After a few experiments (without looking at the source code) I believe there's something wrong with --target-dir and --destdir handler.

Here's the output of configure and make:
gst.zip

Can you try adding this line:

Eval [Smalltalk arguments printNl]

at the top of scripts/Package.st? It may be that msys is playing games
with the paths.

Here's that printNl output:

('--kernel-dir' './kernel' '--image' 'gst.im' '--dist' '--copy' '--all-files' '--destdir' '--target-dir=c:/gst/share/smalltalk' '--srcdir' '.' './packages.xml' )

It seems like --destdir is missing its real argument, so it takes --target-dir=c: instead (/gst/share/smalltalk trimmed somehow)
