Well, the most obvious answer is that there is no params file in the
directory that you are trying to compile.

/sbin/shorewall reads shorewall.conf prior to launching the compiler.
Given that shorewall.conf can use variables from params, the params file
is read first. Because shorewall.conf has not be read yet, its
CONFIG_PATH setting is not yet available.

The CONFIG_PATH used is formed by prepending the directory named in the
compile or check command, to the default CONFIG_PATH.

So, at a minimum, the directory named in a 'compile'
 or 'check' command must contain a params file and shorewall.conf.
