Howdy:
Could someone please assist me in locating the resources to "GIT" 
 this stuff going on a G4 MAC PPC?  I 
keep getting weird bugs.  
Need me to be more explicit?  Ok - it says gcc v3.3 isn't compatible, and a 
bunch of other sheet!
I'd like to start messing with this while I'm waiting for my Debian
 Linux box to be returned. (A friend 
borrowed it to do some work:  
He installed a horribly virulent bug called WInBlows XP!!!!)  

I already have Perl5.10.1 working fine, and performing numerous marvelous tasks, so I (perhaps mistakenly) thought it would be an easy addition.

Cheers,
Greg

GCC 3.3 is from May 2003, I suggest you upgrade to a more recent GCC (probably 4.6).

Perl 5.10.1 is from August 2009. Presumably less of a problem but, again, you should probably upgrade to something more recent.

(Please note that I don't know the minimum requirements in this regard for Git. It's just that your tools are old to ancient. :-) )

Yes, you need to be more explicit. Please copy'n'paste exact error messages that you get compiling Git.

I don't have experience compiling Git for PPC, but on i386 I can
compile Git without problems with gcc 4.0.2.

Git requires Perl version 5.8 at least, so you should not have any
problems here.

One day someone [1] reminded me that git does not require perl. Some features, like git add -p, require it but git can be built without perl.

Re: Git, Parrot, Perl6, Rakudo for G4 MAC

Thank you very much for all your help. After a tiny bit of consideration, I've decided to sell my G4, for whatever I can get on the local Craigslist, and install Linux, or FreeBSD on this &^%^$$&*!! Wintel machine.

Copying my several dozen useful Perl and shell scripts, will be much easier to accomplish than "GITting" the other stuff to install on a PPC MAC. I love programming, but INSTALLING software is boring!

Thanks again,

Hmmm... isn't there some pre-compiled Git to be installed on PPC Mac (Homebrew, git-osx-installer linked from Git Homepage)?

Re: Git, Parrot, Perl6, Rakudo for G4 MAC

Hej, you actually don't need perl, if I remember my experimenta with git under G4 MAC PPC right.

See the Makefile: # Define NO_PERL if you do not want Perl scripts or libraries at all

And, if I remember it right, git (the selfe compiled) stopped working after 1.7.0 or so. I didn't do a bisect, since that machine runs linux most of the time. /Torsten
