Hello, first patch. I'm having trouble compiling on AIX using IBMs compiler, leading to unusable binaries. The following patch solved the problem for 2.17.0. The patch below is cut&pasted via gmail to allow for firewalls, but exists in an unmolested form on github: https://github.com/MrShark/git/commit/44bfcaca6637e24548ec06f46fb6035a846b14af Best regards /jp Building on AIX using XLC every checkout gives an error: fatal: pack is corrupted (SHA1 mismatch) fatal: index-pack failed Back tracking it was introduced in 2.13.2, most likely in [1] Add a #ifdef guard based on macros defined at [2] and [3]. Should perhaps __xlc__ should should be changed to or combined with _AIX based on the behavour of GCC on AIX or XL C on Linux. 1. https://github.com/git/git/commit/6b851e536b05e0c8c61f77b9e4c3e7cedea39ff8 2. https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSGH2K_13.1.3/com.ibm.xlc1313.aix.doc/compiler_ref/macros_platform.html 3. https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSGH2K_13.1.3/com.ibm.xlc1313.aix.doc/compiler_ref/xlmacros.html Signed-off-by: jens persson <jens@xxxxxxxxxx> --- sha1dc/sha1.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/sha1dc/sha1.c b/sha1dc/sha1.c index 25eded139..68a8a0180 100644 --- a/sha1dc/sha1.c +++ b/sha1dc/sha1.c @@ -84,7 +84,7 @@ /* Not under GCC-alike or glibc or *BSD or newlib */ #elif (defined(__ARMEB__) || defined(__THUMBEB__) || defined(__AARCH64EB__) || \ defined(__MIPSEB__) || defined(__MIPSEB) || defined(_MIPSEB) || \ - defined(__sparc)) + defined(__sparc) || (defined(__powerpc) && defined(__xlc__))) /* * Should define Big Endian for a whitelist of known processors.
