Just wanted to share that with at least wine 1.7.23 I can install msysgit using the netboot method, clone and build git ok. I had to do this to make gcc works actually, but it's probably no big deal

$ mkdir -p ~/.wine/drive_c/usr/libexec/gcc/mingw32 -p $ cp ~/.wine/drive_c/msysgit/mingw/bin/as.exe ~/.wine/drive_c/usr/libexec/gcc/mingw32/ $ cp ~/.wine/drive_c/msysgit/mingw/bin/ld.exe ~/.wine/drive_c/usr/libexec/gcc/mingw32/

This may open a door for many people like me, who are interested in Windows support, but don't own a Windows license (and probably don't want to dual boot anyway). Of course tricky stuff would require real Windows, but this would help with most "standard" windows stuff.

Are you compiling git.git or msysgit.git? And how about the test suite?

We (Wine) are interested in bug reports for git tests failing on Wine that succeed on Windows/Linux. Performance issues compared to Windows are highly desired too.

thanks

Awesome, thank you for the offer!

I haven't tried this in a long time, mainly because at some stage Wine required a separate console from my terminal to run command-line programs. And it seemed to me as if in particular process-spawning and heavy-duty file system operations were the bottleneck.

Hopefully I will find some time soon to perform those tests again.

Ciao, Johannes
