The default Git build doesn't use autotools. See INSTALL for more details. What version of gmake is available for Plan 9? I wouldn't expect Git's build system to be super demanding as far as recent "make" features go. So I wonder whether it would make sense to do something like the following: - add entries to config.mak.uname to set the compiler e.g. to 6c when appropriate - make appropriate compatibility fixes in git-compat-util.h - add any necessary helpers to the compat/ directory - use gmake to build Would that work? Thanks, Jonathan
