Besides, you are \nmissing that we are dealing with the opposite of POSIX here. After all, \nyour target platform is Windows, right?

The diffutils package I mentioned is from MinGW.\n\nAnyway, I think we should not link against libiconv*.dll at all because it \nslows down the startup too much.\n\n> The path to Git should also have been set automatically.

Usually, CMD picks up new PATHs if they have been \nmodified via the Settings->System->Advanced (or whatsitcalled) tool. So, I \nthought it would be the same with installations.\n\n-- Hannes\n"},{"id":"41865","messageId":"f329bf540705111508m91f6de7r6e8d025e23a9fc67@mail.gmail.com","threadId":"7994","inReplyTo":"200705112207.02206.J.Sixt@eudaptics.com","subject":"Re: Anyone running GIT on native Windows","fromName":"Han-Wen Nienhuys","fromEmail":"hanwenn@gmail.com","sentAt":"2007-05-11T22:08:30Z","receivedAt":"2007-05-11T22:08:30Z","isPatch":false,"sender":{"key":"hanwenn@gmail.com","avatar":"https://gravatar.com/avatar/058832acb8d613baeb6ce9d21b009d9772424a309b9a521330423daef909a27a?d=mp&s=160"},"body":"2007/5/11, Johannes Sixt :\n> >\n> > Can you be more specific?
