Description U. Artie Eoff 2014-02-03 17:13:10 UTC 
Weston fails to compile outside of the git tree:

*** No rule to make target `src/git-version.h', needed by `src/compositor.c'.  Stop.

A developer should be able to use "git checkout-index" into a working directory and then compile from that directory... for example:

1. cd $WLD/src/weston/
2. git checkout-index -a -f --prefix="$WLD/build/weston/"
3. cd $WLD/build/weston/
4. ./autogen.sh --prefix=$WLD
5. make
6. ...

The first bad commit is somewhere between 1afb2383ea and 1e47a93f8

    build: Add a rule for creating git-version.h when we don't have a git repo
    
    For dist tarballs we ship git-version.h but if you do a git archive or
    similar to check out a source tree, there's no git-version.h and no
    way to make one.
