These are the changes I needed to apply. Maybe some of them are of use for other ancient systems... You know, I like ancient systems. And if I could get my hands on a VMS, I would try to get git to work on it, too ;-) Ciao, Dscho ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

You should check out polarhome.com if you want a variety of platforms to muck about on, including IRIX, Plan 9, OpenVMS Vax, OpenVMS Alpha etc. I work on VMS systems at the moment and i thought of attempting to port git for the hell of it. I decided not to bother for a variety of reasons, but mostly because it looked like too much work :) Tim. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

So maybe it would be easier to port git to MinGW32 first... BTW, my remark about VMS was more tongue-in-cheek than not... Ciao, Dscho ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread
