After the ./configure --prefix=$HOME/git, the make all gives me - some warnings like "fast-import.c: 2622: Warning: 2570, Value assigned to enumeration object "type" is different type." - some errors like "archive.c: 223: Serious: 4470, Initialization value must be address constant expression." This error appears also on lines 309, 311, etc. Thank you for any help. .Yves. ``` ## Sverre Rabbelier, 2010-04-19 06:26 Subject: Re: Compilation pb of git-1.7.0.5 Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/i2kfabb9a1e1004182326w32b1ce9ak2ada640ce30cc945%40mail.gmail.com In-Reply-To: <201004190759.15032.yves.caniou@ens-lyon.fr> ``` Heya, On Mon, Apr 19, 2010 at 07:59, Yves Caniou wrote: > After the ./configure --prefix=$HOME/git, the make all gives me Which revision are you trying to compile?

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 [...] -------- $>make all * new build flags or prefix CC fast-import.o cc: Warning: 100, Unknown option, "-g" option is ignored. fast-import.c: 2622: Warning: 2570, Value assigned to enumeration object "type" is different type. fast-import.c: 1776: Warning: 2570, Value assigned to enumeration object "type" is different type. fast-import.c: 2213: Warning: 2570, Value assigned to enumeration object "type" is different type. fast-import.c: 2346: Warning: 2570, Value assigned to enumeration object "type" is different type.

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? > I wonder whether we should hide configure somehow.

I saw the first lines in the INSTALL file, describing "make prefix=" but just made like I'm used to. Thx. .Yves. ```
