Hmm,

As for the branch, you should get something that looks like this (I think the branch will vary depending on the last commit):

[hww3@delta pike]$ git branch
  7.6
  7.9
* 8.0

So you might need to do a "git checkout 8.0", assuming 8.0 is the version
you want.

I also assume you're just doing a simple "make" in the top level directory. That should make everything happen automatically. I don't use autoconf 2.13 any more, but I think it should still work, though i might need to take some time to confirm that.

Hi there,

I have a Linux machine (OpenSuSE 13.1) and I use GNU Make 3.82. According
to the instructions, I cloned the following repository by running

git clone git://pike-git.lysator.liu.se/pike.git

so I am not sure whether it is a pre-release or stable one. Another thing
is that I use rather older version of autoconf i.e. 2.13 because newer
versions of autoconf are not backward compatible. I am not sure if it can
be the source of the problem. I downloaded the source code of Pike and it
compiled successfully. The error comes up when I clone the git repository.

Regards,

Hi Danesh,

What type of system are you using? What version of make is complaining? I
assume you're trying to compile from the 8.0 pre-release branch?

 Dear all,

I have downloaded and compiled successfully the source code of
Pike-v7.8.700. Now when I clone the git repository of Pike, the make
complains about VPATH is not supported by make. I have modified VPATH
variable to point to the where the source code (compiled previously)
resides, but the problem is still there. Any tip for that?

Regards,

D.
