Build fails because of missing ./lib and ./bin directories

[wobblie]

Both a git clone of the repository and the zip file download do not include ./bin and ./lib directories. Their absence causes make to fail. Either the Makefile should be modified to build these directories or absent, or more simply, these empty directories should be added to the repository.

Did 67e0d9b1ccaddb2f3f04788d91d030762f5b0f14 fix this?

Sorry... this was so long ago that I no longer remember whether I was using the build system from Gentoo Linux to build glimpse as part of a Gentoo package, or whether I was building glimpse standalone from source.

I was using glimpse as a part of Linux Cross Reference (LXR) to index source trees for browsing. I can see I still have that glimpse index, dated Jan 13, 2016, so however I did it, I did get it working two days after submitting this bug report. Maybe somebody updated the Gentoo ebuild package to pull in 67e0d9b.

I think this is lost in antiquity now.
