problem with make on fedora 12 64-bit

[Leonid Flaks]

I am not sure if it is specific to this particular OS and arch.
I am trying to run make install or make webtest or actually any make and 
get this:
# make install
pod2man --center="cobbler" --release="" ./docs/cobbler.pod | gzip -c
> 
./docs/cobbler.1.gz
pod2man --center="koan" --release="" ./docs/koan.pod | gzip -c > 
./docs/koan.1.gz
pod2man --center="cobbler-register" --release="" 
./docs/cobbler-register.pod | gzip -c > ./docs/cobbler-register.1.gz
python setup.py build -f
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "setup.py", line 71, in <module>
     gen_build_version()
   File "setup.py", line 41, in gen_build_version
     cmd = 
subprocess.Popen(["/usr/bin/git","log","-1"],stdout=subprocess.PIPE)
   File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/subprocess.py", line 595, in __init__
     errread, errwrite)
   File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/subprocess.py", line 1092, in _execute_child
     raise child_exception
OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory
make: *** [build] Error 1

This is a version 2.0.2 git clone from git://git.fedorahosted.org/cobbler

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Leon

It looks like /usr/bin/git does not exist, can you verify that git is
installed properly and in the correct place?

Bingo! That was it. I was trying to do test installation on the system 
nfs mounting cobber git directory. Never thought I need git for that.

Thanks!

The reason that git is needed to build the package is because the git
hash is retained for use with the much-controversial cobbler --version
as such:

$ cobbler --version
Cobbler 2.0.2
  source: 3e9381a4d5fe7ca3c6db5306ebb118637a42e1c0, Tue Dec 8 15:46:11 2009 -0500
  build time: Tue Jan  5 14:08:06 2010

This was Michael's desire in order to better assist folks who were
having problems.  He often had a hard time determining exactly which
build of cobbler they were running (especially when folks build from
source themselves).

I prefer making RPMs (make rpms) and installing those.

By the way, 'make rpms' failed in exactly the same way as all other 
make's that I tried.
Will file a bug in trac (per Jeff's suggestion)
