Ubuntu 24.04, building with make command fails

[tricarte]

Followed the official building instructions. But make command gives below error.

make fresh_vc
make[1]: Entering directory '/home/username/repos/v'
rm -rf ./vc
git clone --filter=blob:none --quiet https://github.com/vlang/vc ./vc
make[1]: git: Permission denied
make[1]: *** [GNUmakefile:142: fresh_vc] Error 127
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/username/repos/v'
make: *** [GNUmakefile:191: vc/.git/config] Error 2

If I manually clone vc into v directory with: git clone --filter=blob:none https://github.com/vlang/vc vc/

then the make command fails this way:

cd ./vc && git clean -xf && git pull --quiet
make fresh_tcc
make[1]: Entering directory '/home/username/repos/v'
rm -rf ./thirdparty/tcc
git clone --filter=blob:none --quiet --branch thirdparty-linux-amd64 https://github.com/vlang/tccbin ./thirdparty/tcc
make[1]: git: Permission denied
make[1]: *** [GNUmakefile:156: fresh_tcc] Error 127
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/username/repos/v'
make: *** [GNUmakefile:188: thirdparty/tcc/.git/config] Error 2

Ok let's clone that tccbin manually: git clone --filter=blob:none --quiet --branch thirdparty-linux-amd64 https://github.com/vlang/tccbin ./thirdparty/tcc

and then run make again

cd ./vc && git clean -xf && git pull --quiet
cd ./thirdparty/tcc && git clean -xf && git pull --quiet
cc  -std=gnu99 -w -o v1.exe ./vc/v.c -lm -lpthread 
./v1.exe -no-parallel -o v2.exe  cmd/v
./v2.exe -nocache -o ./v  cmd/v
rm -rf v1.exe v2.exe
Your `tcc` is working. Good - it is much faster at compiling C source code.
V has been successfully built
V 0.4.6 615a9a0

Now compiled successfuly.

Imho something is wrong with your PATH or git installations.

Can you try ls -la $(which git) and git version in a new shell?

[spytheman]

Also please check the permissions and owner info, for the vc/ folder with ls -lad vc, right after cloning and cd v, before running make, and after running make.

[tricarte]

ls -la $(which git):

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4066200 May 20 14:15 /usr/bin/git

Git version: 2.43.0.

OK, I'm starting again from the beginning: There is no vc directory inside the source root after cloning v. Also the vc directory does not appear after issuing the make command as it fails giving the first permission denied error I mentioned earlier.

After manually cloning vc with: git clone --filter=blob:none https://github.com/vlang/vc vc/:

ls -lad vc:

drwxrwxr-x 3 my_user my_user 61 Jul 16 09:09 vc

Running make again, still getting git: Permission denied error for tcc this time.

After manually cloning tcc with: git clone --filter=blob:none --quiet --branch thirdparty-linux-amd64 https://github.com/vlang/tccbin ./thirdparty/tcc

ls -lad thirdparty/tcc/:

drwxrwxr-x 6 my_user my_user 105 Jul 18 14:01 thirdparty/tcc/

So, manual git clone works fine. As you said, if no other one has this issue, it's probably due to my installation but I can't figure out why.
