Compiling eduke32 outside of a Git repository inserts an error string in place of the revision number
To reproduce, simply rename the .git
folder to something else, and then run make
.
When starting the game, the first line in the log will show the following (I compiled for Fury in this case):
Ion Fury rfatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git[fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git]-fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git
This means that the error case isn't being properly handled right now.
Since this is a likely result of someone downloading the source code in zipped format, it should be resolved.
