Hi,
I've been trying to get git to work on the latest Solaris Express
release (with the help of NetBSD's pkgsrc).
It mostly miserabely fails because of common "shell commands" being
used with GNU options. (like xargs, diff, tr and prob. some more) On
my box (and thats AFAIK the default when you install gnu coreutils on
Solaris) the commands do have a g prefix.
So there are 2 possible solutions to get git working on Solaris.
1. fix every single shellscript automatically during the build phase
2. setup a dir which contains symlinks to the "right" binaries and
put that dir into PATH.
No matter what solution is chosen to be the best, I'm volunteering to
create a patch for it. :)
(although I personally prefer the second, because its easier...)
bye
Stefan
