Ok, I went down that path, building the latest gmail with PREFIX=$HOME/usr Then, simplifying a bit here, I fetched .. curl http://www.skarnet.org/software/skalibs/skalibs-2.1.0.0.tar.gz | tar xz curl http://skarnet.org/software/execline/execline-2.0.1.1.tar.gz | tar xzb and configured ./configure --prefix=$HOME/usr --with-include=$HOME/usr/include --with-lib=$HOME/usr/lib --with-dynlib=$HOME/usr/lib and when I go to make execline I get make: *** No rule to make target '-lskarnet', needed by 'background'. Stop. and I note $ grep -e ' -l' p*/deps.mak | head -3 background: src/execline/background.o ${LIBEXECLINE} -lskarnet backtick: src/execline/backtick.o ${LIBEXECLINE} -lskarnet cd: src/execline/cd.o -lskarnet Which, while I don’t do much work at level of makefiles these days, strikes me as odd.
