Hmm... how do I get started? I naively chose cygwin as my shell. I
set
export PATH=$PATH:/cygdrive/c/msysgit/bin
then I tried
$ git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git c:/msysgit/
bin/git-clone: line 214: git-init: command not found
Maybe it's related to the errors during installation?
How can I build and install git manually, based on the result of
GitMe-3's basic setup?
Ok, first, which system is this? Windows 2000/XP/Vista?
(The Gitme installer doesn't work on old ones for now)
XP 32bit.
Try running gitme from a terminal. Download gitme-3.exe into C:
\temp, open a native terminal (Start - Run - Type "cmd" <enter>);
then in the terminal, type:
C:\temp> set PATH=%WINDIR%\system32;%WINDIR%
C:\temp> gitme-3
Does it work then? If so, the problem is likely to be that you have
Cygwin in the system path, which is not advisable/compatible with
MSys.
I had cygwin at the tail of my PATH. After removing it the
installation went through flawlessly.
A check in the installer would be a good idea.
Would you recommend running git only from the mingw shell prompt,
or can I start it also from a Cygwin shell prompt?
Thanks a lot,
Steffen
