Solaris 8

[Uwe Zeisberger <zeisberg@informatik.uni-freiburg.de>]

Hello,

when trying to get git running on Solaris 8 (gcc 2.95), there are
several pit-falls:

1) for me, install and tar are GNUish, ginstall and gtar don't exist.
   (INSTALL = ginstall, TAR = gtar for SunOS in Makefile)

2) connect.c and merge-index.c use signal() without including signal.h

3) Solaris ships zlib 1.1.3.  That version doesn't define
   ZLIB_VERNUM.  But no, that's not my problem, ... I have it: There is
   another zlib version in /usr/local.  That's 1.2.3, defining
   ZLIB_VERNUM as 0x1230.  The compiler uses include files from
   /usr/local, but lib from /usr/lib.  Aargh, I have to dig the admins
   here...

4) libc don't know printf z and t modifier:

	alloc.c: In function `alloc_report':
	alloc.c:47: warning: unknown conversion type character `z' in format
	alloc.c:47: warning: too many arguments for format
	alloc.c:48: warning: unknown conversion type character `z' in format
	alloc.c:48: warning: too many arguments for format
	alloc.c:49: warning: unknown conversion type character `z' in format
	alloc.c:49: warning: too many arguments for format
	alloc.c:50: warning: unknown conversion type character `z' in format
	alloc.c:50: warning: too many arguments for format
	mktag.c: In function `verify_tag':
	mktag.c:69: warning: unknown conversion type character `t' in format
	mktag.c:69: warning: too many arguments for format
	mktag.c:72: warning: unknown conversion type character `t' in format
	mktag.c:72: warning: too many arguments for format
	mktag.c:77: warning: unknown conversion type character `t' in format
	mktag.c:77: warning: too many arguments for format
	mktag.c:97: warning: unknown conversion type character `t' in format
	mktag.c:97: warning: too many arguments for format
	mktag.c:104: warning: unknown conversion type character `t' in format
	mktag.c:104: warning: too many arguments for format

5) I don't understand why I get this warning for EMIT(c), but not for
   EMIT('\\'):

	quote.c:34: warning: value computed is not used
	quote.c:37: warning: value computed is not used

6) typedef long pid_t
	upload-pack.c: In function `create_pack_file':
	upload-pack.c:277: warning: int format, pid_t arg (arg 2)
	daemon.c: In function `remove_child':
	daemon.c:371: warning: int format, pid_t arg (arg 2)
	daemon.c: In function `child_handler':
	daemon.c:481: warning: int format, pid_t arg (arg 3)

7) I think these can safely be ignored:
	builtin-help.c: In function `cmd_help':
	builtin-help.c:234: warning: null format string
	builtin-help.c:236: warning: null format string
	git.c: In function `main':
	git.c:280: warning: null format string

I'll send out patches in reply to this mail for 2) and 6)
