Sounds like it's using "install" when it should be using "ginstall". config.mak.uname contains, under the SunOS category: INSTALL = /usr/ucb/install But gitweb/Makefile seems to forget to include ../config.mak.uname. How about this patch? -- >8 -- Subject: gitweb: use system-appropriate defaults for commands Attempting to install gitweb on Solaris 11 produces $ gmake install ... gmake -C gitweb install gmake[1]: Entering directory `/export/home/build/git-2.21.0/gitweb' gmake[2]: Entering directory `/export/home/build/git-2.21.0' gmake[2]: `GIT-VERSION-FILE' is up to date. gmake[2]: Leaving directory `/export/home/build/git-2.21.0' GEN gitweb.cgi GEN static/gitweb.js install -d -m 755 '/usr/local/share/gitweb' directory /usr/local/share/gitweb created install -m 755 gitweb.cgi '/usr/local/share/gitweb' find: cycle detected for /lib/secure/32/ find: cycle detected for /lib/32/ find: cycle detected for /lib/crypto/32/ ... find: cycle detected for /usr/lib/gss/32/ install: gitweb.cgi was not found anywhere! gmake[1]: *** [install] Error 2 gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/export/home/build/git-2.21.0/gitweb' This is because the default "install" tool on SunOS doesn't follow the convention we require. Use the /usr/ucb/install command specified in config.mak.uname instead to fix it. This should also help on other platforms where the default "install" command is not functional enough.
