compilation error

[blendsoft]

When I try to compile:

cilex/bin$ php ./compile

PHP Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'RuntimeException' with message 'The git binary cannot be found.' in /media/disk2/darek/yii/cilex/src/Cilex/Compiler.php:43
Stack trace:

RuntimeException: The git binary cannot be found. in /media/disk2/darek/yii/cilex/src/Cilex/Compiler.php on line 43

but git is of course available on system

cilex/bin$ whereis git
git: /usr/bin/git /usr/bin/X11/git /usr/share/man/man1/git.1.gz

cilex/bin$ git

This message is thrown because the command git log --pretty="%h %ci" -n1 HEAD returned an error code other than 0. This does not mean git is not available but rather that the command failed for some reason.

What happens if you execute that command at your location?

I had the same issue and creating a new git repo, adding something and committing that takes care of the issue. I don't understand why that commit short commit hash and date is so required to build the phar file. Why not use the current date and time?

[mvriel]

That specific part was re-used from the Compiler of Silex (as attributed in the fie); to be honest: I do not know the reasoning for that specific part

Ok, I'll try to find out and send a PR if needed! Thanks
