Ejabberd 19 throws 'deps/.got' exception while installation

Question

I am trying to install ejabberd-19 on my ubuntu 16 machine.I am installing it from the source code from git. The steps I am following are as follows-

1. git clone ...

2. ./autogen.sh

3. ./configure --enable-mysql

4. make

The last command make throws error everytime-

rm -rf deps/.got
rm -rf deps/.built
mkdir -p deps

Tried a lot to make it install, --enable-mysql flag is to enable mysql instead of mnesia db.

I am sure I am missing some dependency.

Answer 1

I am sure I am missing some dependency.

Well, the pkix library is downloaded automatically during "make", like all the other erlang libraries.

The first time you run make, do you see lines like this? Does pkix get downloaded? That same version than I get? Are those files downloaded in deps/pkix? Is that the only dependency that you miss, or are there others missing too?

git clone git@github.com:processone/ejabberd.git
