Installation issue

[ZephArvanitis]

I tried to follow the directions here for installation, but ran into a problem, both when I downloaded the repo as a .zip file and when I cloned it. The full output from running make inside the potion directory:

From an unzipped version of the repository, I had the same problem, but with many fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git errors thrown in before the CC stage.

Am I doing something wrong? Thanks in advance for any help!

Since this uses libpotion.dylib I assume that's a mac, with a broken strip.
Please try make STRIP=echo

But the updated instructions are now at: http://perl11.org/potion/

The fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git are now fixed with the branch no-git-85. See #85
Did make STRIP=echo fix your problem?

[ZephArvanitis]

Yes, make STRIP=echo fixed the installation (though make test still fails), and I seem to be able to run the examples.

Thanks. I merged some git fixes. The remaining issue with the release version is the libuv dependency.
