Hi all.
I am unsure whether this is the right group for asking this question
and if it is not please excuse me and/or redirect me to a more suitable one.
We are looking into using git for our source control needs but ran
into some problems.
One of these is that it seems that with the latest git release the
git-gui script changed and started hardcoding some absolute paths in it
during its build (git-gui/Makefile replaces @@GITGUI_SCRIPT@@ with a
hardcoded path). However, this causes the prebuilt Cygwin package to not
work in case Cygwin is not installed in its default location at
C:\Cygwin (e.g. D:\Cygwin or C:\Program Files\Cygwin).
Everything works fine if you manually edit the git-gui script and
change the hard-coded path defined there.
Is there something I'm missing here? E.g. is there any way for the
Cygwin installation to set the correct path here? Or is the user
supposed to modify this by hand on every installation? If this is so,
then what other such files are expected to be modified?
Many thanks.
Best regards,
