MinGW port now supports native git protocol

Johannes Sixt· Feb 5, 2007, 09:03 UTC · lore

Thanks to H. Peter Anvin's tips, the MinGW port now also supports clone, fetch, pull via the native git protocol. Visit

gitweb: http://repo.or.cz/w/git/mingw.git Clone/pull: git://repo.or.cz/git/mingw.git A Readme: http://repo.or.cz/w/git/mingw.git?a=blob_plain;f=README.MinGW;hb=master

Please try branch 'master' first, and if this does not compile or does not work in some way, try branch 'devel', which contains a few extra patches that I need on my system to make it work.

If you want to contribute, please consider using the 'mob' branch (see the gitweb summary page). Base your contributions on 'master'.

Out of curiosity (and probably: repressed masochism), I decided to give this a whirl inside my cross-building environment.

Trying to build this yields

(etc)

Are you sure that this builds with Mingw only? I have

binutils 2.16.1 gcc 4.1.1 regex 2.3.90-1 w32api 3.6 zlib 1.2.2 libtool 1.5.20 mingw-runtime 3.9

where are these headers supposed to come from?

As I see you also include sys/mman.h, I'd say that uname_S is probably not correctly set. ;-)

Yes, you found -- again -- that git is not easily cross-compilable.
