I'll mention this to the other developers and see what they think... I inherited this diff from previous versions of the package (going back to 04x iirc) it may need another look if it's needed. > That's not how you build things in the extras directory (as per the > documentation.) > > Did you try: > make USE_LOG=true EXTRAS="extras/run_directory" > ?
