So I got make RELEASE=1 symlinks setcap
to work
setting the environment valiables using SBBSEXEC/sbbs/exec/
and SBBSCTRL=/sbbs/ctrl
does not work. You must run export to set these
export SBBSEXEC=/sbbs/exec
etc.
I'm not sure if this requires a wiki update but it might be able to be clarified.
if the environment variable is set on the command line of the program as written (not separate commands like it sounds like you did) it should work fine.
SBBSEXEC=/sbbs/exec make symlinks
all as one, would mean like: "during execution of make, the variable SBBSEXEC is .."
export as you figured out sets the env variable for as long as the session is running (or it's explicitely removed)
