Hi Patrick,
exec gcc -iquote src/include-local -Isrc/include (...) (...) make: *** No rule to make target '-lexecline', needed by 'background'. Stop.
You have no -L option to gcc in that command line at all, so make cannot expand '-lexecline' to './libexecline.a'. Something is messing with your LDFLAGS; can you post your configure invocation and your config.mak ?
background: private EXTRA_LIBS := background: src/execline/background.o -lexecline -lskarnet Is it correct that "-lexecline" is a dependency rather than up in EXTRA_LIBS ?
Yes, it is correct. EXTRA_LIBS is only used for things like -lsocket and -lrt, on systems that need them. -- Laurent
