Thanks for both replies,  the strange compiler message was due to the missing directory after the -I flag. Also, I could solve it thanks to Andrew's advice of defining the variable X11_INC=/usr/includes

Thanks again,

The problem is the -I with no directory after it. That causes the -MM to be ignored.  There is probably a USR_INCLUDES with an undefined macro.

If you look at the command line which generated that error, you can see a '-I' option without a following include directory. Thus gcc is taking the '-MM' to be the name of a directory to search for header files instead of an option, which explains the error message. The issue is that you haven't configured one of the required entries in your
extensions/configure/os/CONFIG_SITE.linux-x86_64.linux-x86_64

Looking at the medm/printUtils/Makefile I suspect you need to set a value for X11_INC.

HTH,

- Andrew
