Last time I checked git did not build on HP-UX (11.11) out of the box because its 'install' did not support -d nor -m. There are a few more issues installed here: http://hpux.connect.org.uk/hppd/cgi-bin/wwwtar?/hpux/Development/Tools/git-= 1.5.6.2/git-1.5.6.2-src-11.11.tar.gz+git-1.5.6.2/HPUX.Install+text So I think the word "we support" is a bit too strong. ;-) Being more constructive, what a user using HP-UX is supported to do? 1) Use the patched git from HP. 2) Have coreutils installed. (But then I think it would be good to list this dependency in INSTALL.) 3) Patch git to use automake's install-sh. (Would such a patch be ever accepted?) Thanks. PS: No, I rarely use git on HP-UX, but I would be happy to bring the equivalent of HP's most changes to git.git if possible. --e+JRL32uBeeWnrD4 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAkiG4iMACgkQe81tAgORUJZL+ACfSRCRtJ/YWRSofPqEMNUvlj8k WzYAnji6n2VSV/0+I6T9s5bTpP9d66s9 =tsUU -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --e+JRL32uBeeWnrD4--
