I've looked through a lot of web pages, and seen a discussion of some of the problems a few years ago, and I see that at least some of the changes proposed then (moving from shell scripts to c) have been implemented. However, it's by no means straightforward to compile git on solaris, no one seems to provide a compiled version (eg, sunfreeware.com), and I haven't found any clear cookbook description of how to compile, test and install git on the solaris (10) platform. So my questions are: * Is there a set of instructions for Solaris somewhere that I've missed? * Is anyone actually using git on Solaris? Right now, it appears that gnu make and bash are both required to make git, and perhaps a bunch of other gnu utilities. * Once made, do the git scripts require gnu utilities to work properly? I'm a bit leery of putting the GNU utilities ahead of the solaris ones in my path (and everyone elses). Thanks, -- danq
