Installing git
Howdy,
There are a couple of threads on installing git here and here, both of which I've tried to get git installed on my accelerator. I've added all the flags to my Makefile, and it just doesn't seem to work.
Has anyone got a step by step to follow? Or is there a wiki entry I can't seem to find?
Cheers,
Jordan

Re: Installing git
I'm also having trouble installing git from source...
when I make i get:
Code:
CC git.o
In file included from git.c:3:
cache.h:7:21: openssl/sha.h: No such file or directory
gmake: *** [git.o] Error 1
sha.h exists and I took care of the flags...
Please help!

Re: Installing git
I'll post more about what I've been trying, but first a bit of a n00b question.
/opt/local/src doesn't exist on my accelerator. Do I create that as root? or as admin? And then do I do all of the instructions in the other post as root? or as admin? or as another user?

Re: Installing git
ok. I've managed to get it compiled, but it's all in ~/downloads/git-1.5.4.4
the make hasn't installed it anywhere. Where should I copy all the git* files to? I tried 'gmake install' but that didn't work. I can run git from my downloads directory, but that's obviously sub-optimal. Where's the best location? /opt/csw/bin?

Re: Installing git
untarred git
cd git-1.5.4.4
make the following changes to Makefile
Code:
CFLAGS = -g -O2 -Wall -I/opt/csw/include
LDFLAGS = -L/opt/csw/include...
CURLDIR=/opt/csw
NO_TCLTK=1...
AR = gar
...
NO_ICONV=0
BASIC_CFLAGS += -DNO_ICONV
ifdef NO_ICONV
endif
Then I ran gmake, and it all compiled.
Then I could run
Code:
./git
and it all ran, but it's not installed in any of the system directories. I manually copied git to /opt/csw/bin/git and it worked, but I'm just not sure if I should copy all the scripts over myself, or if there's a better way to do it.

Re: Installing git
Thanks but it didn't work for me...
Anyways I tried an old git version following dj2 example http://discuss.joyent.com/viewtopic.php … 68#p145368
The make went through, but git is not found
Code:
admin$ git
-bash: git: command not found
and ldd git gives me:
Code:
admin$ ldd git
libz.so => /usr/lib/libz.so
libsocket.so.1 => /lib/libsocket.so.1
libnsl.so.1 => /lib/libnsl.so.1
libcrypto.so.0.9.8 => /usr/sfw/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.8
libc.so.1 => /lib/libc.so.1
libmp.so.2 => /lib/libmp.so.2
libmd.so.1 => /lib/libmd.so.1
libscf.so.1 => /lib/libscf.so.1
libuutil.so.1 => /lib/libuutil.so.1
libgen.so.1 => /lib/libgen.so.1
libcrypto_extra.so.0.9.8 => (file not found)
libm.so.2 => /lib/libm.so.2
any tip???

Re: Installing git
Just to follow up, I manually copied all of the git scripts from my downloads directory into /opt/csw/bin (as root) and everything seems to work a treat. Not sure if that's optimal behaviour or not, but hey, it works :)

Re: Installing git
GIT v1.5.5 Release Notes wrote:
Bunch of portability improvement patches coming from an effort to port to Solaris has been applied.
Hopefully this means git will be easier to build and install in the future. I haven't tried 1.5.5. on the Accels yet, though.

Re: Installing git
(Knock on wood) its now working for me. I posted my own instructions on another thread. I'm using pkgsrc for getting the dependencies, then building from source. Git in pkgsrc was causing too many headaches.

Re: Installing git
I just figured it out.
Apparently su - doesn't take use bash or something (it could be a limited bash by default).
If your prompt is just '#' (mine was), then you can get the full bash stuffs by just typing the bash command. Then you get the appropriate environment for making and make installing.
