Hello!

I am completely new to Synchronet and I want to set it up on Slackware
for test purposes. Main goal is to have a web interface for certain
newsgroups.

I tried to build from the tarballs:

sbbs@localhost:~/src/sbbs3$ ls ~
3rdp/  ctrl/  docs/  exec/  install/  install-sbbs.mk  node1/  src/  srun320d.tgz  ssrc320d.tgz  text/  web/  webv4/  xtrn/
sbbs@localhost:~/src/sbbs3$ SBBSEXEC=/sbbs/exec make symlinks setcap
fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git
make: *** [targets.mk:150: git_hash.h] Error 128
sbbs@localhost:~/src/sbbs3$ 

Did I do anything wrong?

kind regards
Marco
