Thanks for an interest in Git, but I am somewhat dissapointed by your
message. As our Makefiles strive to offer necessary knobs to tweak from
the command line for platform-specific glitches, from "Recipe included" on
the subject, I think people would have expected to see something like:
gmake VAR1=VAL1 \
VAR2=VAL2 \
VAR3=VAL3 ...
or perhaps:
cat >config.mak <<-EOF
VAR1=VAL1
VAR2=VAL2
...
EOF
and not a sequence of commands to rewrite files in-tree.
Other people have built git on Solaris but probably not many people have
done so recently. The platform specific knobs in our Makefiles may have
to be extended to accomodate newer version of Solaris. So the "Recipe"
may not be just the series of make variables, but needs a patch or two to
the Makefile to enhance the tweaks.
See 614dd90 (Makefile: SunOS 5.6 portability fix, 2010-05-14) for an
example of such a patch.
Thanks.
