Re: Am a newby and I cannot compile git

[Fabio Aiuto <polinice83@libero.it>]

Hello Santiago,
I'm running debian Stretch on my machine, and using Eclipse. I'm new in
linux world so I don't know how could I let you know all packages I've
installed in a single screenshot.
However I got the git sources with the following command:

$ git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git

then I've opened the project inside Eclipse by importing a makefile
project from existing code. I tried to build several time beacuse of
some compilation errors that I fixed by installing the following
packages:

$ sudo apt-get install zlib1g-dev
$ sudo apt-get install libcurl-dev
$ sudo apt-get install libcurl4-openssl-dev
$ sudo apt-get install libexpat1-dev

At last no building errors detected but when I try to run adebug
session, the IDE says tat 'Program file does not exist'. And there are
more errors spread over the project wich are not detected.When i do the
rebuild by clicking the 'hammer' icon, the message in the console
window says:
20:04:07 **** Incremental Build of configuration Default for project
git ****
make all 
    SUBDIR git-gui
    SUBDIR gitk-git
    SUBDIR templates

20:04:08 Build Finished (took 866ms)

Please ask me for more informations!!!!
Thank you
