## 43. I built NUT from Git, and it complains about lots of missing files. What happened?

If you are not actively developing a driver, can you use a snapshot instead? The NUT instance of Buildbot generates tar files of the latest NUT source after each successful build, and these snapshots include a pre-built version of the `./configure` script.

### Warning

There is an outstanding bug that after the shutdown of BuildBot, no regular distribution tarballs are in fact published.

To build from Git, you will need recent versions of autoconf, automake, libtool, asciidoc, a2x and its dependencies for DocBook/dblatex. Rather than publish a list of the exact versions needed (which will quickly become out of date), we recommend you consult your distribution’s dependency list for building a NUT package, and use that as a starting point.

That said, for the numerous systems running build agents of the NUT CI farm, their lists of dependency packages are available in `docs/config-prereqs.txt` in NUT sources.
