Hi William,

Looks like antelope compiling has been a recurring problem over the years for EPICS base, I tried each of the suggestions without improvement:

EPICS_HOST_ARCH=linux-x86_64
on AlmaLinux 9


make[4]: *** No rule to make target 'antelope', needed by '../../../../bin/linux-x86_64/antelope'.  Stop.

make[1]: Leaving directory '/data/base-7.0.7/modules'
make: *** [configure/RULES_DIRS:85: modules.install] Error 2

Things tried:
  1. installed various ncurses packages
  2. Played with CONFIG_SITE.Common.linux-x86_64, various curses, ncurses and related options
Any ideas?
Can you go back and look for the *first* build error that GNUmake gives you from a serial build (i.e. without giving any -j options), it's almost certainly not the one you show above. We will need to see the full command-line that generated the error as well in order to be able to help you.

The main reason that antelope comes up so often is that it's generally the first full executable program that gets built from C code, so it trips many compiler and linker mis-configuration issues.

Is AlmaLinux 9 a clone of RHEL-9? I believe I once built a Base-7.0 development version on RHEL-9 without any problems, but that was a while back.
