Hm this looks suspicious. Could you try removing $HOME/.cargo/git and retry? This may be a corrupt git database or checkout location, but we should in theory handle this sort of case regardless.

I removed $HOME/.cargo/git and run make again. The error reported above vanished but unfortunately other (probably more messy) errors appeared.

Do you have cmake installed?

[1sp]

Yes, and the problem was cmake itself as it was failing due to missing dependencies. I used a prebuilt cmake and the error was gone. Thank you !
