But that is outside the scope of git project.\n\nI got the impression that his system did have makemaker, and that it\ncreated the perl.mak file, but then building git failed because some\nheader files were missing from his perl installation.\n\nEarlier he said:\n\n>> The only files existing in\n>> /System/Library/Perl/5.12/darwin-thread-multi-2level/CORE/ are\n>> libperl.dylib andperl.h.\n\nI don't have access to a mac, but on my system I have many header files\nin .../x86_64-linux-thread-multi/CORE/ including config.h. These files\nare part of the base perl installation rpm (i.e. not some -devel rpm).\n\nBut like you said, there is nothing to fix on the git side of things.\n\n-Brandon\n"}]}
