The 'ex_chat' is just an example ODoors program. You could've just removed references to ex_chat from odoors/GNUmakefile, but it would've then failed to build the other examples too.

I added a fix (using the '-shared' option) for that issue, but I also observed that the build was failing to find the xpdev library. I added a hack for that (assume the build target is an x64 system). And even with that hack, I had to add "LD=gcc" to the make command-line, but it did work for me:

$ make LD=gcc
cc -fPIC -O2 -Llibs-Linux/ -I../xpdev -shared -Wall -DHAS_INTTYPES_H ex_vote.c ../xpdev/filewrap.c -o exe-Linux/ex_vote -lODoors -DMULTINODE_AWARE
