Hi Lucio, Even with this patch, I continue to get the "fatal: No names found, cannot describe anything." error msg when building Wok. After a investigation, I noticed you added the --always flag only in Makefile.am but the git-describe command is also used in build-aux/pkg-version. alinefm@alinefm-ThinkPad-T440:~/wok$ git grep "git describe" Makefile.am: git describe --abbrev=0 --always > $@; \ build-aux/pkg-version: PKG_VERSION=`git describe --tags --match "[0-9]*" || cat VERSION` If you update build-aux/pkg-version to use the --always flag all errors are gone. Please, do it and resend the patch. Regards, Aline Manera On 14/12/2015 15:37, Lucio Correia wrote:
Since new repositories don't have tags in their git history yet, git-describe was failing. This fix uses always flag to return the hash of latest commit as a fallback to version number.
