configure doesn't test all

Guy Maurel· Apr 26, 2022, 15:21 UTC · lore

Hello!

./configure
make
GIT_VERSION = 2.36.0
     * new build flags
     CC fuzz-commit-graph.o
In file included from commit-graph.h:4,
                  from fuzz-commit-graph.c:1:
git-compat-util.h:1427:10: fatal error: zlib.h

Is missing on my Mint-system, BUT configure doesn't complain about this.

Unless you have a special configuration needs, your best bet to compile on Linux is to just run

   make

Precede this with

   rm -f config.mak.autogen

if you have already run ./configure.

That doesn't liberate you from installing missing development packages, though, and you'll see the same error as above, also with no advance warning.
