Fatal error building x230 patch @ [Makefile:296: mec-tools/Makefile]
ginto37 opened this issue · 2 comments
Tried to build the patch on two separate platforms recently, but got this same error. I had the latest available clone of the repo at the time. Live Internet connection on both machines during the build:
make patched.x230.img
Downloading x230 BIOS 2.75 (G2ETB5WW) EC 1.14 (G2HT35WW)
This part succeeds, I have the ISO files now.
git submodule update --init --remote
fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git
make: *** [Makefile:296: mec-tools/Makefile] Error 128
On the other platform the error was 129 instead of 128, but the rest was the same.
This does sound like you have a problem with the internet, or the version of git you have installed.
Can you try running some tests and paste the output:
git --version
git status
git submodule status
git submodule update --init --remote
That happens when you download the code as a .zip on github.com , instead of running the git clone commands.
