Downloaded repository as ZIP fails to build modules
Created originally on Bitbucket by Licaon_Kter (Licaon Kter)
Not sure if that's @dnlit saw elsewhere, but going on the left here at Downloads->Download repository
trying to build from that archive behaves like this:

BTW, using hg clone
to get the repo will work fine.
