What operating system distro and version are you using?

I am on Debian Stretch.

The error indicates you are building from a wrong tagged version. The git describe is showing v0.28-pre but the version is supposed to be v29.

It seems you may be missing the tags. Check that your git is on the master branch (check it with "git branch" and look for the one with asterisk). You can list the tags with "git tag". If you do not have the v29-pre tag, try "git fetch --tags" and see if you get the tag. Once you have the tag and the correct branch, build should succeed.

Thank you very much, it was a missinv tag indeed.
