hyphen error

New Hello World ANSI C Autotools Project created with hyphens in the name fails to reconfigure. The error is:


Error 127 occurred while running /home/humberto/workspace_luna_1.8.2/yocto-hyphen/autogen.sh

I think I saw somewhere that I shouldn't put hyphens in the name, but I never saw any signal of this in the wizard or the documentation. If hyphens in the name can't work then those characters shouldn't be allowed in the name text field or the "Next"/"Finish" buttons should be disabled until a valid name is entered. At the very least a clear error message is required to let the user know what went wrong.

The existing Eclipse plugin is supported for build and debug functionality, only. 
Current efforts are going into the new CROPS Eclipse plugin.

Easy Workaround: don't use hyphens in name.
