Compilation fails: No such file or directory (but it DOES exist!)

I'm trying to compile the Ethereum Go client. Following the instructions I simply run make geth, but that fails:

$ make geth
build/env.sh go run build/ci.go install ./cmd/geth
make: build/env.sh: No such file or directory
make: *** [geth] Error 1

As far as I understand from this error it complaints that either build/env.sh or build/ci.go doesn't exist. So I checked out the build folder, but they both seem to be there:

$ ls -l build
total 648

... and some more files here

I checked whether go is installed and which version it is:

$ which go
/usr/local/bin/go
$ go version
go version go1.7.5 darwin/amd64

So go seems to be fine.

Does anybody have any idea how I can debug/solve this? All tips are welcome!

Solution

  • OK, never mind, I found it. The problem was that line endings where in DOS style.

    So to recursively convert line endings to Unix I ran:

    find . -type f -print0 | xargs -0 -n 1 -P 4 dos2unix

    and then tried building again. That fixed it.
