I’ve never built Elixir on my own and this is the first time I’ve tried to do so. However, make clean test fails with:

{"init terminating in do_boot",{'cannot get bootfile','no_dot_erlang.boot'}}
init terminating in do_boot ({cannot get bootfile,no_dot_erlang.boot})

Crash dump is being written to: erl_crash.dump...done
make: *** [lib/elixir/src/elixir_parser.erl] Fehler 1

I’m not sure what’s happening. Is it the case that Elixir was unable to find the path to the erl executable for some reason?

I was able to run erl and test it with a helloworld Erlang file just fine.

The Elixir repo is the newest master branch from Git.
