We corresponded offline.  The problem with the sample is that it has no
files in src that trigger processing:  those would be Makefile,
Makefile.win, Makevars, or source files in supported languages.

If the real example doesn't have any of these (e.g. because it is just
copying a pre-compiled file from somewhere; not something you should do
in a CRAN package, but maybe reasonable in a local one), then the
easiest workaround is just to add an empty Makevars file.
