But then, you could have seen it in the Makefile. I also tried to port git to MinGW. This project is stalled a little, because there is really, really, _really_ much to adapt. MinGW inherits the problem of Windows being utterly non-POSIX, and that has to be worked around. HOWEVER, if you would like to continue where I left off, I'll send you a repo URL where you can download it. Ciao, Dscho
