I assume\nthis has something to do with cygwin's locations for header files and\nsuch, but I have no real idea.

You can build with:\n\n make NO_ICONV=1\n\non such a platform, which is more or less what the configure script is\ndoing. Try running './configure' and investigating the\nconfig.mak.autogen it generates; this gets pulled directly into the\nMakefile. You can correlate the variables it is setting with the\ndescriptions in the Makefile.\n\n> My eventual goal is to have git installed with man, info, and html\n> pages, into my (and my fellow developers') personal bin, man, info,\n> and html directories at ~/x.

But you can workaround it with:\n\n ./configure\n make htmldir=~/man bindir=~/bin mandir=~/man infodir=~/info\n\nThe latter command is simply overriding what's in the Makefile with\nwhat you provide on the command line (so any defaults, or anything\nprovided by ./configure is ignored).\n\n-Peff\n"},{"id":"106430","messageId":"be6fef0d0902270437y14b3eb6kdf061109df19a77e@mail.gmail.com","threadId":"18033","inReplyTo":"c115fd3c0902260723o4d475df5yecc9ff23c55c7af4@mail.gmail.com","subject":"Re: Building 1.6.2-rc2 in Cygwin","fromName":"Tay Ray Chuan","fromEmail":"rctay89@gmail.com","sentAt":"2009-02-27T12:37:53Z","receivedAt":"2009-02-27T12:37:53Z","isPatch":false,"sender":{"key":"rctay89@gmail.com","avatar":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/61553?v=4"},"body":"Hi,\n\nOn Thu, Feb 26, 2009 at 11:23 PM, Tim Visher wrote:\n>    $ make\n>        CC fast-import.o\n>    In file included from builtin.h:4,\n>                     from fast-import.c:142:\n>    git-compat-util.h:100:19: iconv.h: No such file or directory\n>    make: *** [fast-import.o] Error 1\n\nDid you try installing libiconv library?
