From: Parker Moore <parkrmoore@xxxxxxxxx> This fixes contrib/persistent-https builds for Go v1.7+ and is compatible with Go v1.5+. Running `make all` in `contrib/persistent-https` results in a failure on Go 1.7 and above. Specifically, the error is: go build -o git-remote-persistent-https \ -ldflags "-X main._BUILD_EMBED_LABEL 1468613136" # _/Users/parkr/github/git/contrib/persistent-https /usr/local/Cellar/go/1.7rc1/libexec/pkg/tool/darwin_amd64/link: -X flag requires argument of the form importpath.name=value make: *** [git-remote-persistent-https] Error 2 This `name=value` syntax for the -X flag was introduced in Go v1.5 (released Aug 19, 2015): - release notes: https://golang.org/doc/go1.5#link - commit: https://github.com/golang/go/commit/12795c02f3d6fc54ece09a86e70aaa40a94d5131 In Go v1.7, support for the old syntax was removed: - release notes: https://tip.golang.org/doc/go1.7#compiler - commit: https://github.com/golang/go/commit/51b624e6a29b135ce0fadb22b678acf4998ff16f This patch includes the `=` to fix builds with Go v1.7+. --- contrib/persistent-https/Makefile | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/contrib/persistent-https/Makefile b/contrib/persistent-https/Makefile index 92baa3be..033140b 100644 --- a/contrib/persistent-https/Makefile +++ b/contrib/persistent-https/Makefile @@ -26,7 +26,7 @@ git-remote-persistent-http: git-remote-persistent-https git-remote-persistent-https: go build -o git-remote-persistent-https \ - -ldflags "-X main._BUILD_EMBED_LABEL $(BUILD_LABEL)" + -ldflags "-X main._BUILD_EMBED_LABEL=$(BUILD_LABEL)" clean: rm -f git-remote-persistent-http* *.tar.gz -- 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
