Using fossil [d13056] to co fossil repo at [57347e6ee87a] yields:
<pre>
gcc -g -O2 -o mkindex ./src/mkindex.c
./mkindex add_.c allrepo_.c attach_.c bag_.c blob_.c ... >page_index.h
gcc -g -O2 -o makeheaders ./src/makeheaders.c
gmake: *** No rule to make target `src/../manifest.uuid', needed by `VERSION.h'.  Stop.
</pre>

where fossil set is: 
<pre><nowiki>
[bch@ansel ~/work/fossil]$ fossil set</nowiki>

The following will fix at command line, but is a brittle solution to real problem (in header file):
<pre>
fossil set manifest 1
</pre>

Once I get the server updated, new clones will set the "manifest" option
automatically.  What other fix do you suggest?  Make "manifest" the default?
The feedback I have received about the manifest and manifest.uuid files is
uniformly negative - everybody hates them it seems - so it seems best to
leave them turned off by default.
