Re: git packs

I compiled git under MacOSX 10.4.10 withr:

A) -m64 -arch ppc64 on a dual G5 B) -m64 -arch x86_64 on the dual quad-core

In both case, the link phase failed because there was no 64-bit version of libz, libssl, libiconv and libcrypto to link with.

I then installed MacOSX 10.5 (Leopard) which was just released last month on the dual quad-core machine with -m64 -arch x86_64. git compiled and linked successfully. However, it failed in the "git add ." which was the second command after "git init". The message was fairly cryptic, "Bus error".

I am guessing that the "Bus error" is an Apple problem and it did produce a crashreport. So, I am going to submit it to Apple since it is easily reproducible.

Anyway, those are the results.

I am now going to split out the jpg(s), pdf(s) and (.mov) files from the repository and just manage them external to the git repository which will fix my git problem.

I will report again when I get git running on Leopard.
