Looks like antelope compiling has been a recurring problem over the years for EPICS base, I tried each of the suggestions without improvement:
make[4]: *** No rule to make target 'antelope', needed by '../../../../bin/linux-x86_64/antelope'. Stop.
make[4]: Leaving directory '/data/base-7.0.7/modules/libcom/src/O.linux-x86_64'
make[3]: *** [../../../configure/RULES_ARCHS:58: install.linux-x86_64] Error 2
make[3]: Leaving directory '/data/base-7.0.7/modules/libcom/src'
make[2]: *** [../../configure/RULES_DIRS:85: src.install] Error 2
make[2]: Leaving directory '/data/base-7.0.7/modules/libcom'
make[1]: *** [../configure/RULES_DIRS:85: libcom.install] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory '/data/base-7.0.7/modules'
make: *** [configure/RULES_DIRS:85: modules.install] Error 2
Things tried:
- installed various ncurses packages
- Played with CONFIG_SITE.Common.linux-x86_64, various curses, ncurses and related options
