The quickest way to get Git for Windows compiled is to download & run
msysGit-netinstall from http://msysgit.googlecode.com/.
Johannes,
I've got the msysGit-netinstall, which is excellent, however it was the
additional setting up of MSVC (Microsoft Visual Studio) that I was trying to
get going as an IDE tool - Its a tool I have to use at work so I'm familiar
with it. I know that an MSVC compilation is not perfect..., but it would
allow me easier development before a proper gcc compilation.
The C:\msysgit\git\compat\vcbuild\README gave details of the extra parts to
download but it wasn't clear to me where I should put them within the C:\ or
C:\msysgit\ directory.
The msysGit-netinstall already includes git (C:\msysgit\git), so I wasn't
sure if I should download it a second time as instructed in the README. With
the improvements in msysGit-netinstall I expect that the README is slightly
out of date for the case where the netinstall was used. The blog post gave
an indication of _where_ the downloads were to be placed, but was otherwise
very similar to the README instructions.
regards
Philip
