The directory in the tar.gz file is named mad_fcl_v1.7_src, not flute.  As
such, your source directory (S) is set incorrectly.

I don't see any autotools artifacts in this tar.gz, so why are you
inheriting autotools?

Gain more understanding of OE - like using S, PN, PV, etc in your recipe.
Fix S.
Drop the inherit autotools.
Figure out how to compile the package properly and implement that in the
recipe.
