在Centos 6上安装Telegram CLI

Question

I followed installation instructions from github up till ./configure command, but failed on make command. Error as below:

root@webserver [~/tg]# make
make: *** No rule to make target `tgl/scheme.tl', needed by `auto/scheme.tl'.  Stop.

Here is the result after ./configure

bin & tgl folder are empty by the way. Can anyone please help how to install this? I'm not familiar with centos command

Answer 1

Are you sure you did a recursive git clone ( git clone --recursive )?

This issue is happening because the tgl folder is empty.
