I hope it's not just that I'm not running a more recent Ubuntu. I am running Ubuntu 16.04 currently as well, so that shouldn't be a problem. Admittedly, I'm not too familiar with curl or openssl (and Ubuntu for that matter, I typically use a different distro) but I believe that a workaround would be to replace your libcurl4-openssl-dev with libcurl4-gnutls-dev. I believe this should work unless you have a strong reason against it. > ________________________________________ > 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.

Also, when I call “sh t9803-git-p4-shell-metachars.sh”, I get “error: GIT-BUILD-OPTIONS missing (has Git been built?).” Git is definitely installed on my computer though.
