it seems as if INSTALL_RULE was assembled more than once, once with
INSTALL_FILES set to libsddpg.a, but at the next iteration
INSTALL_FILES was empty. afaict this second iteration must somehow
be
happening inside instsh.mk, as it is protected to be evaluated
with an
empty install_files list.
Yes, it's a known problem caused by hack used to install header files
with libraries or binaries, i.e.:
thanks, i got further with this. now it's external/libhpdf:
make[3]: `../../../../../lib/sunos/sunpro/libhbxbp.a' is up to date.

this actually has been bugging me for a while - it seems that much
(all, perhaps) other extensions are installed so that in lib<foo>.a
there's both the glue code object to the original library (or the
object implementing the complete functionality) and the harbour
bridge. in case of hpdf, what gets installed is a libhbpdf.a (which is
the hb bridge), and a liblibhpdf.a (which is libharu itself). is that
supposed to be so? even if so, "liblib" seems somewhat unintentional..
Yes it is. libhpdf isn't distributed with *nixes yet, at least
to my knowledge, so the locally hosted version will be used in
Harbour builds. For non-*nix platforms this is just plain
convenience for all users as this packages is naturally not available
on any known locations (nor will it ever be).
Even double lib is normal if the "official" name of a lib contains
the word "lib", otherwise there would be problems when trying to
use the same lib name (like libpng) across different platforms and
compilers f.e. in a .hbp file.
Brgds,
