Untested. This installs to "C:\Program Files\Git" and is not availiable on the path. What is going on here please ?

What is going on here please ? this uses the same buildscripts as before, so if it worked, it should still work. The path should point to $PF/Git/usr/bin/ ; you might need to log out and log in again for the path to visible. -- Han-Wen Nienhuys - hanwen@xs4all.nl - http://www.xs4all.nl/~hanwen ``` ## Aaron Gray, 2007-05-26 21:36 Subject: Re: MinGW port updated to 1.5.2 Message-ID: <001201c79fdd$f1b7eca0$0200a8c0@AMD2500> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/001201c79fdd%24f1b7eca0%240200a8c0%40AMD2500 In-Reply-To: <4658A01E.5060209@xs4all.nl> ``` > Aaron Gray escreveu: >>>> GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF works now. >>> >>> http://lilypond.org/git/binaries/mingw/ >>> >>> uploading as I speak.

Send this to the list, or, if it's very big, send send by private mail. -- Han-Wen Nienhuys - hanwen@xs4all.nl - http://www.xs4all.nl/~hanwen ``` ## Han-Wen Nienhuys, 2007-05-27 06:26 Subject: Re: MinGW port updated to 1.5.2 Message-ID: <4659249D.8040106@xs4all.nl> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/4659249D.8040106%40xs4all.nl In-Reply-To: <004201c79fe7$f16b47b0$0200a8c0@AMD2500> ``` Aaron Gray escreveu: >> Aaron Gray escreveu: >>>> Aaron Gray escreveu: >>>>>>> GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF works now. >>>>>> >>>>>> http://lilypond.org/git/binaries/mingw/ >>>>>> >>>>>> uploading as I speak.

As you can see, you have C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin in the path. That AFAIK should be enough to have git.exe run inside CMD. Maybe I'm missing something, but that is as far as my windows knowledge goes. -- Han-Wen Nienhuys - hanwen@xs4all.nl - http://www.xs4all.nl/~hanwen ``` ## Aaron Gray, 2007-05-27 13:38 Subject: Re: MinGW port updated to 1.5.2 Message-ID: <003701c7a064$60f32630$0200a8c0@AMD2500> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/003701c7a064%2460f32630%240200a8c0%40AMD2500 In-Reply-To: <4659249D.8040106@xs4all.nl> ``` > Aaron Gray escreveu: >>> Aaron Gray escreveu: >>>>> Aaron Gray escreveu: >>>>>>>> GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF works now. >>>>>>> >>>>>>> http://lilypond.org/git/binaries/mingw/ >>>>>>> >>>>>>> uploading as I speak.

'git init' reports it cannot find '/usr/share/git-core/templates/' I have no idea whats wrong and do not have the time to try to debug it at present. Aaron ```
