i have trouble compiling it

[Quoteme]

when i try compiling with make && sudo make install, i get following output:

fatal: 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

why does this happen, or how could I fix it?

What's up with all the "Not a git repository" errors on top? In order to compile it you must have a git repository so that tags are available. See #26 .

Ok, thanks. This time i used "git clone" instead of downloading the zip directly and it compiled perfectly.

Glad to hear it!
