Compilation pb of git-1.7.0.5

Dear all,

I tried to install git on a Quad-Core AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 8356, with the version 4.1.2 of gcc (Red Hat 4.1.2-14).

After the ./configure --prefix=$HOME/git, the make all gives me

- some warnings like
"fast-import.c: 2622: Warning: 2570, Value assigned to enumeration 
object "type" is different type."

- some errors like
"archive.c: 223: Serious: 4470, Initialization value must be address constant 
expression."
This error appears also on lines 309, 311, etc.

Thank you for any help.

.Yves.

Heya,

Which revision are you trying to compile? Also, it's probably more helpful to just post the result of 'make all' verbatim, rather than snippets.

Ok. Thanks to wereHamster on IRC, it appears that the compiler that was used for compilation is the Hitachi Cc version 6.2 and not gcc, because ./configure detects cc and uses cc instead of gcc.

Here is the output of the make all, made after the ./configure [...]

Note that the direct compilation with the following command calls gcc, worked and the installation was successful. $>make prefix=$HOME/git install

Thank you.

...and try to use make directly rather than configure, which isn't maintained that well.

I wonder whether we should hide configure somehow. If you see a Makefile and configure and don't know the project, the natural impulse is to use configure before make.

That's what I did, but maybe you didn't saw my mail. It works fine, because Cc doesn't overide gcc. So I can install. I don't know if you want to look at the errors or not, but if not, maybe adding some info in known issues?

Indeed, the natural reflex is to make a ./configure --help to have the options, and use ./configure. I saw the first lines in the INSTALL file, describing "make prefix=" but just made like I'm used to.

Thx.
