Hmm,
As for the branch, you should get something that looks like this (I think the branch will vary depending on the last commit):
[hww3@delta pike]$ git branch 7.6 7.9 * 8.0
So you might need to do a "git checkout 8.0", assuming 8.0 is the version you want.
I also assume you're just doing a simple "make" in the top level directory. That should make everything happen automatically. I don't use autoconf 2.13 any more, but I think it should still work, though i might need to take some time to confirm that.

Hi there,
I have a Linux machine (OpenSuSE 13.1) and I use GNU Make 3.82. According to the instructions, I cloned the following repository by running
git clone git://pike-git.lysator.liu.se/pike.git
so I am not sure whether it is a pre-release or stable one. Another thing is that I use rather older version of autoconf i.e. 2.13 because newer versions of autoconf are not backward compatible. I am not sure if it can be the source of the problem. I downloaded the source code of Pike and it compiled successfully. The error comes up when I clone the git repository.

Hi Danesh,
What type of system are you using? What version of make is complaining? I assume you're trying to compile from the 8.0 pre-release branch?

Dear all,
I have downloaded and compiled successfully the source code of Pike-v7.8.700. Now when I clone the git repository of Pike, the make complains about VPATH is not supported by make. I have modified VPATH variable to point to the where the source code (compiled previously) resides, but the problem is still there. Any tip for that?
