Jeffrey, thanks for the reply. Decades since I've looked at a makefile. Understanding is marginal.

That's what you intended, correct? Got this. # make DEBUG=1 -f ./Makefile PROGS: utelnetd make: Nothing to be done for 'all'. Confirms the assignment earlier in Makefile. # grep utelnetd Makefile # Makefile for utelnetd CORE := utelnetd.core PROGS = utelnetd OBJS = utelnetd.o According to this, libc.so is the only dependancy. https://boxmatrix.info/wiki/Property:utelnetd /usr# find . -type f -name "libc.so" ./lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so Seems OK. Something elementary and critical missing? Thanks, ... P. -- VoIP: +1 604 670 0140 work: https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/User:PeterEasthope
