I rebuilt git-1.7.5 from source on the Solaris 9 platform with gcc-3.4.6, GNU make 3.82, and GNU install (from coreutils 8.11). Following these steps

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- # ./configure CC=gcc

Edit the Makefile - set the path to "ar", "gcc" and GNU "install". CC = /usr/local/bin/gcc AR = /usr/ccs/bin/ar INSTALL = /usr/local/bin/install Look for ifeq ($(uname_S),SunOS) and set INSTALL to /usr/lcoal/bin/install

# gmake NO_TCLTK=1 NO_CURL=1 NO_PTHREADS=YesPlease install prefix=/opt/sfw # git --version git version 1.7.5 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Preliminary testing indicates a working system -- will investigate thourough today and tomorrow.

Thanks for the tips!
