"make" fails with missing version error

[Npaffen]

I downloaded the repository as a .zip file and unpacked this at /home/oem/phasedibd. Using make produces the following error. This happens only when cloning the repository by downloading the .zip package. cloning via git clone url works fine.

(base) oem@oem:~/phasedibd$ make
pip install cython --user

Make sure you're either building from a fully intact git repository or PyPI tarballs. Most other sources (such as GitHub's tarballs, a git checkout without the .git folder) don't contain the necessary metadata and will not work.

For example, if you're using pip, instead of https://github.com/user/proj/archive/master.zip use git+https://github.com/user/proj.git#egg=proj
