git-version.h is always broken, just manually make one like this (at least whenever I tried building rpcs3 in linux with multiple distros (ubuntu, fedora, Arch) I always needed to make a git-version.h manually)

I don't understand why it's broken, when it works on Travis.

Someone should just make a docker image

I followed luntik2012 instructions and I obtained same problem with the last git version from December, 15th 2016:

$ make ...

It doesn't compile because of a missing file: git-version.h
I downloaded Nezarn git-version.h file:
https://github.com/MissValeska/rpcs3/blob/master/rpcs3/git-version.h
I put it in the main rcps3 git folder and it finally 100% compiled.
Why this file is missing? That is the question.

Thank you for your help.

Issue still in place as of 2017-01-21.

[al0xf]

As of 2017-01-21 the correct build instructions that work around any bugs are as follows (assuming a completely new install of debian/ubuntu/similar):

sudo apt-get install cmake build-essential libopenal-dev libwxgtk3.0-dev libglew-dev zlib1g-dev libedit-dev libvulkan-dev git
mkdir ~/git/ && cd ~/git/
git clone https://github.com/RPCS3/rpcs3.git
cd rpcs3/
git submodule update --init
cmake CMakeLists.txt && make GitVersion && make
cd bin/ && ./rpcs3

Then set up LLE modules and settings as in this thread: http://www.emunewz.net/forum/showthread.php?tid=174352

Please note that due to a bug that Nekotekina is now investigating/working on the Linux build of rpcs3 really likes to crash, but most games that are known to work should at least start up as usual.

Here is what I have with new installation instructions.

I can compile current version, closing

Note: It workes when installing qt5-default on Ubuntu.

I don't understand why it's broken, when it works on Travis.

Travis uses 3 make jobs during build. 67b82debb3ab while ugly fixed it. Downstream automation may build several packages at once but allocating only one job for each.
