Hello Everyone,
This is somewhat related to my previous question about `configure`
ignoring `--XXdir=` options but it's different enough that I think it
warrants a new thread.
The reason I'm using `configure` at all is that when I simply do a
`make` without a `make configure; ./configure` first, it fails with a
message like:
$ make
CC fast-import.o
In file included from builtin.h:4,
from fast-import.c:142:
git-compat-util.h:100:19: iconv.h: No such file or directory
make: *** [fast-import.o] Error 1
Once I configure, even without any options, it builds fine and I can
get my man pages (although I have to install them by hand). I assume
this has something to do with cygwin's locations for header files and
such, but I have no real idea. The first part of my question, then
would be what the issue is that I'm encountering when attempting to
build git in Cygwin?
My eventual goal is to have git installed with man, info, and html
pages, into my (and my fellow developers') personal bin, man, info,
and html directories at ~/x. It appeared that I could do that with
./configure but per the response I got earlier, this doesn't seem to
be the case.
Second, I built and installed 1.6.2-rc2 and it still is claiming a
--version rc1. I'm not sure if this is systemic or not, and obviously
it would be bad if it was just me as it means I'm doing something
wrong.
Thoughts?
