From what I’ve been able to determine, I am adding the .st files to the Makefile in the src directory correctly. In that they’re being added in the following format: IOCName_SRCS += someFile.st

Additionally, if I manually compile the .st files into .c files, and adjust the Makefile, I am able to build the IOC. I was wondering if someone knew why this was the case, as well as what could be done to allow it to build properly using .st files directly.

You need to clean and rebuild (at least) SEQSNC.

A likely scenario is that epics-base, and perhaps other modules,
were updated without rebuilding all dependent modules.
