</div> Oh - goodness; 3.3.2.2 is a horribly old code-base; also building from<br>
tar-balls is really not recommended.<br>
<br>
IMHO we need to provide a way for people to "download" the git<br>
repositories in a way that they can understand; apparently using 'git<br>
clone' is too hard for most.<br>
<br>
Swagat - did you try cloning from git by using the http mirrors ?<br>
[ perhaps we should default to that on the web-site or be more<br>
explicit ? ]:<br>
<br>
git clone <a href="http://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/libreoffice/bootstrap.git/" target="_blank">http://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/libreoffice/bootstrap.git/</a><br>
<br>
It would be great to find out how you ended up building from archives<br>
of something so old Swagat - can you help us understand your thinking so<br>
we can improve the docs ?<br>

</div> Great :-)<br>

</div> This looks like you don't have the 'postprocess' source archive<br>
downloaded and inside src/ - or at least that unpacking has failed<br>
somehow.<br>
<br>
Without all the code you'll struggle to build it.<br>
<br>
But of course, I'd really like to try to address your trouble with git<br>
- Olivier was suffering the same thing some few days ago and I'm sure<br>
its a common problem (but fewer are brave enough to ask perhaps) :-)<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
