Greetings,

I'm working on building backuppc from source on alpine linux on the home folder of a user and I've encountered an issue.
when I clone the main backuppc repo to my home folder and run perl configure.pl inside it like the readme states the build fails
stating that I need to install from a tarball or run makeDist.
So I've extracted the latest tag name for the tags list ad used it as version, now I'm getting this:
$ ./makeDist --version 4.4.1rc1
./makeDist: bin/BackupPC_Admin_SCGI contains an error (or someone killed me)

any idea what am I missing or how to fix  this issue?

Thanks,

Dagg
