I figured as much but for the moment I am flailing along towards a nice working build first and then pray to the gods of complication for some kindness and simplification. :-) Thus far the build process seems to work fine. I have no idea if I can use SSH protocol as I would need to set up a dummy to test it. Everything else seems to work. I think. :-\ > > Is there some magic somewhere to use ordinary POSIX tar ? > > gmake TAR=tar ? ha .. yeah I guess. Actually I found a file called GIT-BUILD-OPTIONS : # cat GIT-BUILD-OPTIONS SHELL_PATH='/usr/local/bin/bash' PERL_PATH='/usr/local/bin/perl' DIFF='diff' PYTHON_PATH='/usr/bin/python' TAR='tar' NO_CURL='' USE_LIBPCRE='1' NO_PERL='' NO_PYTHON='1' NO_UNIX_SOCKETS='' NO_GETTEXT='' GETTEXT_POISON='' Funny looking options for NO_foo where I would think that a null string indicates that in fact I have foo? Because I do have curl and perl and most likely UNIX_SOCKETS. Regardless, I simply edited that file and three others to stop the search for gtar. > The default of gtar for Solaris dates back to 2005.

Yes, I seem to recall that long long ago there were problems with old tar on Solaris 2.5.1 back in the 90's and then it carried forwards up to Solaris 7 or 8. The ultimate POSIX tar as well as tar that can archive or extract anything from anything is Joerg Schilling's star. http://sourceforge.net/projects/s-tar/ I use that nearly everywhere that I must ensure all metadata and data gets taken care of correctly and cross platform. However, hell will freeze over before we ever see it included in a distro or UNIX anywhere so for now tar will suffice. > > /bin/sh: gtar: /bin/shnot found > > : gtar: not found > > gmake[1]: *** [install] Error 1 > > gmake: *** [install] Error 2 > > > > [...] > > > > Also, what is shnot ? > > Two messages stepping on each other's toes?
