Here's a second roll of the series for supporting compilation of Git
using Visual C++ (MSVC). (Sorry for the long delay on a followup, time
is in short supply these days)
There's no guarantee that the compiled result will work as well as the
current MinGW compile, or at all. However, I think it's important to
get the Git repo to a compilable state with MSVC as quickly as
possible, to further enable contributions from the Windows developers
which we are sorely lacking at the moment.
I hope that a repo which compiles successfully with the tools they are
accustomed to (also a very good debugger) will entice them to send more
patches.
In addition to this series, I have also setup a repo with binaries of
the required libs to compile Git with MSVC. Only 32bit versions for now.
So, the developer can choose to either use that, or Frank's source code
repo to build Git with MSVC. You'll find the binary repo here:
http://repo.or.cz/w/msvcgit.git
Note that the binaries will still require the msysgit environment for
execution, due to the non-binary components of Git. (Scripts, gitk,
git-gui, etc). You'll find that repo here:
http://repo.or.cz/w/msysgit.git
=== V2 2009.09.14 ===
1) Rebased ontop on current git.git 'next'.
2) Fixed code and commit msgs based on the previous feedback.
Let me know if I forgot anything!
3) Added a proper Makefile patch for MSVC support.
You now compile with 'make MSVC=1'.
4) Added perl scripts (contrib) which uses GNU Make output to generate
MSVC IDE (.sln & .vcproj) projects and QMake projects, and picking
up the project settings from the Makefile, so it's all in one place.
5) Added necessary patches to make things compile ontop of current
'next'.
=== V1 2009.08.21 ===
So, Frank Li started this series, and I took it upon my self to help
out a bit; cleaning, reorganizing, rebasing the series. Hopefully
we're now a bit closer to including the series into mainline..
Here's a summary of what has happend:
1) This series is rebased ontop of git.git 'next', which needed an
extra patch to avoid a non-constant array creation, which
mscv doesn't like.
2) I've polished (tied to anyways) the commit messages a bit.
3) I've applied much of the feedback provided to the first round of
the patches.
4) I've split, merged and reordered some of the patches, so things
that belong together are in the same commits, and in a order of
'importance'
5) I've removed the
#define func _func
stuff, as it's not needed and Microsoft cannot really kill the
compatibility functions anyways. So, adding the define
_CRT_NONSTDC_NO_DEPRECATE
will kill the warnings seen without the defines above.
6) ..probably much more as well, but I forget..
Note: I did not sign off on the last two commits, which involve the
adding of the vcproj files, since I don't agree on adding them as is.
We need a Makefile way of compiling primarily, and second, a script
to generate the vcproj, as already discussed. But the commits are
included for completeness, at to let others compile and play with it.
I've kept the original author as is, and just signed the patches..
Thanks for watching, now bring on the comments!
