Unable to compile from git source

Hello! I pulled this repo and checked out release tag 20220915 (14af9b1).

I think I've followed the build directions correctly.

Running synclibs.sh, autogen.sh, ./configure, make I receive a compilation error because of a missing libfdata_tree.h.

libtool: compile:  gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../common -I../include -I../common -I../libcerror -I../libcthreads -I../libcdata -I../libclocale -I../libcnotify -I../libcsplit -I../libuna -I../libcfile -I../libcpath -I../libbfio -I../libfcache -I../libfdata -I../libfguid -I../libfvalue -I../libfplist -I../libhmac -I../libcaes -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -DFUSE_USE_VERSION=26 -DFUSE_USE_VERSION=26 -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -g -O2 -Wall -MT libfvde_logical_volume.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/libfvde_logical_volume.Tpo -c libfvde_logical_volume.c  -fPIC -DPIC -o .libs/libfvde_logical_volume.o

make[1]: *** [Makefile:893: libfvde_logical_volume.lo] Error 1

I do not see libfdata_tree.h inside the libfdata directory created by synclibs.sh.

This also fails with release 20220807 (80febd9)

Apologies if I am making a simple mistake here!

Please use the "source distribution package" as advised per https://github.com/libyal/libfvde/wiki/Building#read-first otherwise you'll have to change the code to recent versions of the dependencies and make it work yourself.

Thank you!

my mistake was in assuming that checking out a git release ("20220915") and running synclibs.sh was equivalent to the source distributions ("libfvde-experimental-20220915"). they are not.

No its not, git is a version control system used for development, the source distribution packages are for distribution. Unfortunately GitHub does not allow clear distinction between them.
