Hi, Is this fatal? If so, how come it continued? If not, then why does it say, "fatal"? What is really wrong? This looks like it is trying to extract a git version and fiddle something, but is not doing it correctly. I do not think that a git version should be at issue and here is the line from "configure" wherein the configured version is stamped: > # Generated by GNU Autoconf 2.65 for GNU libposix 0.1.0-libposix. and the ensuing messages: > autoreconf: running: /old-home/ROOT/usr/local/bin/autoconf --force > fatal: ambiguous argument 'v0.1..HEAD': unknown revision or path not in the working tree. > Use '--' to separate paths from revisions > autoreconf: running: /old-home/ROOT/usr/local/bin/autoheader --force > fatal: ambiguous argument 'v0.1..HEAD': unknown revision or path not in the working tree. the configure.ac file starts with this: > AC_INIT([GNU libposix], > m4_esyscmd([./git-version-gen .tarball-version]), > [bug-gnulib@xxxxxxx]) Thanks!
