Tried to compile ILSpy on endavourOS, powerhsell is from powershell-bin on the AUR.

It is definitely the PS failing that is computing the version number. Can you run that directly?

[Fancy2209]

I did try that and seemed to get the same result

It looks like your are using a shallow clone. I fixed an error in the script when working with shallow clones... can you try again with latest master? Thanks!

[Fancy2209]

Ah yes indeed, I used --depth=1 since normally to just build stuff it's way quicker, will retest!
