Hi *, since commit 4ecbc17 (Makefile: install 'git' in execdir, 2009-07-09), included in v1.6.4-rc0, the install fails when $bindir is equal to $execdir with: bindir=$(cd '/home/pcl305/sbejar/usr/stow/git/bin' && pwd) && \ execdir=$(cd '/home/pcl305/sbejar/usr/stow/git/bin' && pwd) && \ { rm -f "$execdir/git" && \ test -z "" && \ ln "$bindir/git" "$execdir/git" 2>/dev/null || \ cp "$bindir/git" "$execdir/git"; } && \ { for p in ..list..of..builtins; do \ rm -f "$execdir/$p" && \ ln "$execdir/git" "$execdir/$p" 2>/dev/null || \ ln -s "git" "$execdir/$p" 2>/dev/null || \ cp "$execdir/git" "$execdir/$p" || exit; \ done; } && \ ./check_bindir "z$bindir" "z$execdir" "$bindir/git-add" cp: cannot stat `/home/pcl305/sbejar/usr/stow/git/bin/git': No such file or directory make: *** [install] Error 1 I understant what happens, but all this is very delicate, so I'll try to fix it but I don't know when. Maybe we need also tests for this.
