Re: Built Git 2.27.0 from sources on macOS Catalina fails on "make profile"
Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
I get several messages like this
LLVM Profile Warning: Unable to track new values: Running out of static counters. Consider using option -mllvm -vp-counters-per-site=<n> to allocate more value profile counters at compile time.
I’ve checked the scripts in the t folder, they use #!/bin/sh while I’m using zsh could it be of some relevance? Which shell are they supposed to be run?
