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.
