CPU & Memory [SOLVED] why does .gitignore ignores Makefile???
Hello! Smilie

It's the third time I download source code using git (only method available), to find out later that the most essential files to compile are missing and listed in .gitignore.

Examples:
phonon-backend-vlc which misses Makefile
git.videolan.org Git - vlc/bindings/phonon.git/summary

and gnome3 icon theme, which misses the necessary files to build index.theme (forgot link)

Why is that done and what should I do? phonon-backend-vlc has been published in many sites, so it's not something the developer wouldn't want you to download.

Thanks in advance for your attention!

Makefiles are often autogenerated from other files. Try ./configure or ./runscript
