Hi Mike,
Thanks for the report -- found it. src/native/Makefile.am's all-local
step copies the freshly-built native-function libraries next to the
apl binary so the interpreter can be tested from the build tree without
a prior 'make install'. That step globbed .libs/*.so only; on MacOS
libtool builds .dylib instead, so the glob matches nothing, is left as
a literal (non-existent) filename, and the resulting failed 'test -f'
aborts the whole build right there -- which is exactly why your
transcript shows a fully successful compile/link/ranlib/symlink
sequence for lib_template_OP2 immediately followed by 'all-local]
Error 1' with no error text of its own: the failure is in that copy
step, not in anything you pasted above it.
Fixed at *SVN 2087 *-- now globs both *.so and *.dylib, and
can no longer abort the build either way. Please *svn up* and retry;
let us know if anything else comes up.
Jürgen
PS: Claude Code found and fixed this one.

I get a build error with the latest SVN (happened last week, too).
Used to build ok earlier in the year. No changes to compiler; only
security updates to macOS 15.7. Have removed existing svn/trunk
directory and tried a new svn clone. Same result.
