Sorry, this is a bit buried: https://github.com/josefnpat/vapor/wiki/Building-Vapor

This relates to #93

If you have problems beyond this, feel free to reopen this ticket.

@josefnpat, Could you consider adding those build instructions in the git tree? Probably the README.md would be a good place, or you could have a BUILD file with those instructions.

I also ran into this issue, and hopefully I found this closed issue which solved mine :)

[josefnpat]

@akien-mageia Good point, I will re-open the ticket for that reasoning. [[selfie-placeholder-1]]
