I'm running Ubuntu 16.04. "sudo apt-get upgrade" tell me I'm up to date. I hope it's not just that I'm not running a more recent Ubuntu. ________________________________________ From: Denton Liu [liu.denton@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: March-27-19 6:51 PM To: Julian Cheng Cc: git@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: [GSoC] [t9803] On Wed, Mar 27, 2019 at 10:04:46PM +0000, Julian Cheng wrote: > Denton, thanks for the pointers! > > I get the following when I run "make" in the top level directory of git and I'm not sure how to deal with it.
