Hello, I build git on msys environment regularly. With the recent changes to add cache preload facility (commit ID: 671c9b7e315db89081cc69f83a8f405e4aca37bc) brings in dependency on pthreads. This is not available in the msys distribution which was part of the git build distro. I installed libpthread for mingw to get the related headers and libraries. I had to make some minor changes to libpthread installation. I copied the 'setjmp.h' from my other mingw installation and had to had edit it to remove some mingw specific macros. @:/e/users/dhruva/stub/repo/git/git [520]$ diff -u /e/tools/gnu/include/setjmp.h /mingw/include/setjmp.h --- /e/tools/gnu/include/setjmp.h Sun Oct 5 04:01:15 2008 +++ /mingw/include/setjmp.h Sun Nov 30 16:18:00 2008 @@ -36,7 +36,7 @@ * The function provided by CRTDLL which appears to do the actual work * of setjmp. */ -_CRTIMP int __cdecl __MINGW_NOTHROW _setjmp (jmp_buf); +int __cdecl _setjmp (jmp_buf); #define setjmp(x) _setjmp(x) @@ -44,7 +44,7 @@ * Return to the last setjmp call and act as if setjmp had returned * nVal (which had better be non-zero!). */ -_CRTIMP void __cdecl __MINGW_NOTHROW longjmp (jmp_buf, int) __MINGW_ATTRIB_NORETURN; +void __cdecl longjmp (jmp_buf, int); #ifdef __cplusplus } Also, had to copy a pthread library with a dfferent name to the standard name: $cp libpthreadGC2.a libpthread.a The build went fine and am using the new binaries. -dhruva -- Contents reflect my personal views only! -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
