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. -- Duy -- -- *** Please reply-to-all at all times *** *** (do not pretend to know who is subscribed and who is not) *** *** Please avoid top-posting. *** The msysGit Wiki is here: https://github.com/msysgit/msysgit/wiki - Github accounts are free.

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 bye michael ``` ## Johannes Schindelin, 2014-10-13 21:17 Subject: Re: Re: msysgit works on wine Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/alpine.DEB.1.00.1410132241590.990%40s15462909.onlinehome-server.info In-Reply-To: <543BA350.2020503@redhat.com> ``` Hi Michael, On Mon, 13 Oct 2014, Michael Stefaniuc wrote: > On 10/10/2014 02:04 PM, Duy Nguyen wrote: > > On Fri, Oct 10, 2014 at 7:02 PM, Thomas Braun > > > >> Are you compiling git.git or msysgit.git? > > > > git.git > > > >> And how about the test suite? > > > > running right now, fingers crossed.. kinda slow, not sure if it's wine > > or it's the msys thing. > > We (Wine) are interested in bug reports for git tests failing on Wine > that succeed on Windows/Linux.

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.
