Hi there,
I have just completed the installation of gitweb (git version 1.5.3.1)
on Mac OSX 10.3 Panther, and I thought that you may be interested in
including a note with your distribution, to enable an easier
experience for others.
Essentially the commands I used were variations on the following.
****** Start installation of gitweb on Mac OSX ******
make prefix="/usr/local" \
PERL_PATH="/usr/local/ActivePerl-5.8/bin/perl" \
all
sudo make prefix=/usr/local install
make PERL_PATH="/usr/local/ActivePerl-5.8/bin/perl" \
GITWEB_PROJECTROOT="/Library/WebServer/Documents/gitweb/rep" \
GITWEB_CSS="/gitweb/res/gitweb.css" \
GITWEB_LOGO="/gitweb/res/git-logo.png" \
GITWEB_FAVICON="/gitweb/res/git-favicon.png" \
GITWEB_SITENAME="Local Git" \
bindir=/usr/local/bin \
gitweb/gitweb.cgi
cp -fv ./gitweb/gitweb.cgi /Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables/gitweb
cp -fv ./gitweb/gitweb.css \
./gitweb/git-{favicon,logo}.png \
/Library/WebServer/Documents/gitweb/res
****** End installation of gitweb on Mac OSX ******
Notes:
Perl_Path was necessary in order to change the shebang line in any perl
or cgi scripts to use my non-standard
perl interpreter, i.e. different from usr/bin/perl.
The gitweb.cgi script and the configuration file gitweb_configure.perl
must be placed in a directory under /Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables,
as this is equivalent to localhost/cgi-bin. In this case I used
/Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables/gitweb.
The gitweb resources *must* be placed in a folder in
/Library/WebServer/Documents, not in
/Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables. In this case I placed the resources
in /Library/WebServer/Documents/gitweb/res, and used
/Library/WebServer/Documents/gitweb/rep, as the project root. The
absolute url for the project root must be specified.
In order to use symbolic links from a live project to the projectroot
it was not necessary to make any changes to the Apache configuration
file, however the files being linked to i.e. the project/.git files
*must*(it took forever to work this out), be in a publicly accessible
area, even if you are accessing using a browser under you own username.
In my case I placed those projects in the Public folder, under my own
username.
Relevant file permissions must of course be tweaked.
If all goes according to plan repositories are accessible from
http://localhost/cgi-bin/gitweb/gitweb.cgi
Thank you,
Brían
