Research direction

Start with the configure and make commands, then inspect src/bctimer.h and the include paths shown in the compiler output. Determine why bcls/bclslib.h is unavailable in the project or build path; done means the library compiles without this missing-header error.

Description

Hello, I've recently tried to compile the library. So I did, in order:

./configure
make

... But, I receive this error:

/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/make all-recursive
Making all in src

then mv -f ".deps/bcls.Tpo" ".deps/bcls.Plo"; else rm -f ".deps/bcls.Tpo"; exit 1; fi
