Hello Ilya,
As you have found, the conversion from our old development environment to
the open source conventions was incomplete. Therefore for some of the custom
module types, the libraries are not built correctly. The module makefiles
also require hand editing. We have made some progress though and some of
this is fixed in cvs, awaiting a new release.
Meanwhile, this or a small variation should work with 4.0.6-4.0.9:
A sample Linux Makefile for inboard user module "watchfile.c" ... your
missing main.c follows it.
I hope this helps you. If you wanted to check out cvs and contribute
additional testing and fixes that would be "kewl" too.
Happy New Year,
Pete
