Build dependency: Please install Git (git-core) >= 1.6.5
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
using Debian-SID linux with git-core 2.13.2 installed
git-core 1.6.5 was used in 2009 !

any suggestion ?

with ubuntu

You need to install git, which will grab git-core as a dependency.

Also note the >= on the version. It's not saying you must use that version, simply that version or any superseding it.

(at the risk of thread-necro)

I actually had to modify the script .../openwrt/include/prereq-build.mk, as it had an incorrect test for the presence of git -

I changed this line: ...to grep for a slightly different command line option: I'm still trying to get a working build environment. It'd be great if there was something like an ubuntu virtual machine image pre-loaded with the git repository for the current stable image.

Install Ubuntu server 18.04 64bit

make an SSH connection (putty)
Than wait 15 hours or so

I think my last build was close to 24 hours

Thanks for the walk through. I've stumbled across pretty much the same procedure (the universe command didn't work though?). I'll start clean and try again though.

At present I'm using a virtual machine running on my NAS, but with those kind of build times, I'm thinking I might just alt-boot my main rig - it's a beast.

All this just to get crelay working.

[edit: I needed to run sudo apt-get install software-properties-common to add the add-apt-repository command to Ubuntu 18.04.]

Those times were on and old xeon (10 years old) and for every build possible

Single builds on a fast machine are much quicker
