far 2.8.0 compilation fatal

[lokapal]

Compilation from the 2.8.0 sources leads to fatal:

cd far2l-v_2.8.0
mkdir _build
cd _build
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local -DUSEWX=no -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..

gives an error:

fatal: not a git repository (or any parent up to mount point /)
Stopping at filesystem boundary (GIT_DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEM not set).
