Hi All,

Sorry if I seem clueless on this within the git make infrastructure, but someone set up my new build environment with an incompatible libz.so that I cannot seem to bypass. How can I link git using libz.a instead?

Thanks, Randall

Simple solution is to put the full path to libz.a before any -L in LDFLAGS.
