I rebuilt git-1.7.5 from source on the Solaris 9 platform with gcc-3.4.6, GNU
make 3.82, and GNU install (from coreutils 8.11). Following these steps
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# ./configure CC=gcc
Edit the Makefile - set the path to "ar", "gcc" and GNU "install".
CC = /usr/local/bin/gcc
AR = /usr/ccs/bin/ar
INSTALL = /usr/local/bin/install
Look for ifeq ($(uname_S),SunOS) and set INSTALL to /usr/lcoal/bin/install
# gmake NO_TCLTK=1 NO_CURL=1 NO_PTHREADS=YesPlease install prefix=/opt/sfw
# git --version
git version 1.7.5
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Preliminary testing indicates a working system -- will investigate thourough
today and tomorrow.
Thanks for the tips!
- Randy
