Well, make install just installs into /usr/include, as echoed on screen:
<===><8===>

        fi; \

As you can see, there is no call to make install_stcdll nor any
reference to a lib dir.

This is the Makefile in the contrib/src dir:
<===><8===>
# $Id: Makefile.in 42385 2006-10-25 06:51:10Z RD $

CONTRIB_SUBDIRS=fl gizmos mmedia ogl plot stc svg #deprecated #applet

all:
	@for d in $(CONTRIB_SUBDIRS); do (cd $$d && $(MAKE)); done

clean:
	@for d in $(CONTRIB_SUBDIRS); do (cd $$d && $(MAKE) clean); done

install:
	@for d in $(CONTRIB_SUBDIRS); do (cd $$d && $(MAKE) install); done

uninstall:
	@for d in $(CONTRIB_SUBDIRS); do (cd $$d && $(MAKE) uninstall); done

.PHONY: all clean install uninstall
<===><8===>
I do not see how this can call make install_*dll.

Nope. Just ./configure.

Interesting.

I do appreciate your comments, and Robin's too.
