Comment (by Steven R. Brandt):

OK, currently this issue is preventing me from building on Shelob/Supermike. After digging in a little, I find that the problem is at least partly an issue with CACTUS_CONFIGS_DIR and CONFIGS_DIR. The main Cactus makefile sets CONFIGS_DIR to CACTUS_CONFIGS_DIR if CACTUS_CONFIGS_DIR is set.

Formaline, however, sets CACTUS_CONFIGS_DIR ?= $(CCTK_HOME)/configs in Formaline/src/make.configuration.deps. For some reason which I can't understand, CACTUS_CONFIGS_DIR is set to empty when it gets to this point. However, it seems to me, that all references to CACTUS_CONFIGS_DIR in Formaline/src/make.configuration.deps ought to instead refer to CONFIGS_DIR, which it should simply expect to be set.

When I make this change, unfortunately, I get the following error:
