Hi John,

To me it does actually look like there's one "make" missing in the extensions/configure subdirectory.

Remember that running "make" inside the configure directory creates Makefile snippets that get included during all make runs under this TOP. These Makefile snippets contain (among other things) search path definitions for includes and libraries.
The pearl script that creates the library path definitions will only add directories that actually contain libraries - this is to avoid adding countless empty directories to the search paths.

If you created librecIoc.a in base after you ran make in extensions/configure, your Makefile snippets might not contain the correct library location within base. As a result, make will try to find librecIoc.a only locally, i.e. under this TOP directory. It's not there, and cannot be created locally, so make complains correctly about
*** No rule to make target `../../../../lib/linux-x86//librecIoc.a

General rule of thumb: If a make run yields errors that look like it's trying to find a library locally which should be found elsewhere ...
  • Make sure the path to the external module (in which the library is located) is set correctly in TOP/configure/RELEASE.
  • Make sure the library does exist in that module at the generic location (e.g. MODULE/lib/ARCHITECTURE)
  • Do a "make clean", then "make" (or shorter: "make clean all") inside TOP/configure.
If it still doesn't work, well ... shit happens.

Good luck!
Ralph
