Question

I am unable to get any dependency from github using rebar.

rebar.config file:

{sub_dirs, ["rel"]}.

{deps_dir, ["deps"]}.
{erl_opts, [debug_info]}.

{deps, [
 {thrift_erl, "0.5.0", {git, "git://github.com/xslogic/thrift_erl", "HEAD"}}, 
 {eleveldb, "1.0.1", {git, "git://github.com/xslogic/eleveldb", "HEAD"}} 
]}.

When I do ./rebar compile I get:

Dependency not available: thrift_erl-0.5.0 ({git,
                                         "git://github.com/xslogic/thrift_erl",
                                         "HEAD"})
Dependency not available: eleveldb-1.0.1 ({git,
                                       "git://github.com/xslogic/eleveldb",
                                       "HEAD"})

It keeps looking for DEP_NAME with a dash at the end and can’t seem to find it.

How to fix this?

I think that you should use rebar get-deps command firstly.
If rebar compile command is error, try rebar delete-deps, rebar clean.
If still error, switch to the related deps directly, compile these project independently. (I have faced this problem one time).
