Comment (by fo):
Apologies if I am dumb, but...
Make does not complete for
[https://github.com/fontforge/fontforge/releases/download/20141230/fontforge-20141230.tar.gz].
Build is successful for
{{{
wget -c https://github.com/fontforge/fontforge/archive/20141230.tar.gz \
-O fontforge-20141230.tar.gz
82369a1125bc7800806d28a18f3c11de fontforge-20141230.tar.gz
}}}
Build is also successful for
{{{
git clone https://github.com/fontforge/fontforge.git fontforge-2015.01.11
tar cJf fontforge-2015.01.11.tar.xz fontforge-2015.01.11
9fec2519ee57d23b2b62e280651df216 fontforge-2015.01.11.tar.xz
}}}
However the successful builds use git during configure and make.
The release note
[https://github.com/fontforge/fontforge/releases/tag/20141230]
mentions
{{{
...
Binaries (and source packages) for Ubuntu and Debian are available from
the
official FontForge Launchpad archive...
...
The source package for Red Hat is attached. Despite the generic name,
it is only for Red Hat.
...
}}}
Finally, I have complained, in comments 1 and 2 above, about the URL and
package name changes, when what appears to have happened is no Unix
"fontforge-20141230.tar.gz" package has been launched.
