What version of Git specifically are you building with? How did
you obtain these source files?
On my old workstation (Linux) which has the git git tree on it I
tarred up the files in the git directory (not including the .git
directory), then scp-ed the tar ball to my new workstation (OSX),
untarred it there and tried to build git to boot strap...
Since you solved your problem, this is more for the list archives
than anything:
Use `make dist` instead. It uses your currently installed Git
to generate a tarball from the revision in HEAD, then appends in
the 4 critical files. I use this all of the time (almost daily,
or close to it) to do builds of Git on Cygwin and Solaris 9.
In both cases I am building without `git` (or .git) available,
and am relying on just the output of `make dist`.
Ah, that is cool. Thanks. I will use that next time. (-:
Best regards,
Anton
