This short discussion on GitHub (file git-compat-util.h) might be relevant: https://github.com/msysgit/git/commit/435bdf8c7ffa493f8f6f2e8f329f8cc22db16ce6#commitcomment-2407194 The change suggested there (to remove an inclusion of windows.h in git-compat-util.h) might simplify the solution a little. Might even remove the need for auto-configuration in Makefile (worked for me). -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
