Hello,

I tried to compile (with gcc 4.0.3) git-snapshot-20060831 and got the following error messges:

make --prefix=/usr/local

mailinfo.o: In funtion 'convert_to_utf8':

git-snapshot-20060831/mailinfo.c:504: undefined reference to 'libiconv_close'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

then I tried make --prefix=/usr/local NEEDS_LIBICONV=1 and got the following error messsages:

Hi,

since you do have a recent snapshot, why not try ./configure, as Pasky 
suggested?

BTW I cannot read Finnish, but it probably says that you do not have curl 
installed. configure would detect that, and automatically set NO_CURL=1.

Ciao,
Dscho

So when sending error codes it would be better to set LC_ALL=C (or
equivalent) before producing and sending error message.

Without curl http:// and https:// transports won't work. So you perhaps want
to install curl instead.

 Alternatively you can use autoconf generated ./configure script to
 set up install paths (via config.mak.autogen), so you can write instead

        $ make configure ;# as yourself, if configure does not exist

        $ make all doc ;# as yourself

Sorry,

but I have not any git installed and there is no configure file in 
installing directory. It was the first thing I checked after extracting 
the git-snapshot-20060831.bz2 file. The INSTALL file does not mention 
the ./configure command, either.

When I tested 

make NEEDS_LIBICONV=1 NO_CURL=1

the make succeeded but when trying make install I got error messages 
shown in the enclosed file.

I think you meant

$ make NEEDS_LIBICONV=YesPlease NO_CURL=YesPlease install

there, Jakub.

Jorma, since the Makefile has no ideas on state, it only notices that 
some files it needs to make a complete install with the parameters 
you're passing it when also passing 'install' are missing, it tries to 
build them, but without the NEEDS_LIBICONV and NO_CURL flags. Pass them 
both when doing normal 'make' and when doing 'make install' and you'll 
be fine. You might also want to check if your distribution provides a 
pre-compiled package. If that's the case, you should be able to get away 
with something easy such as

	$ apt-get install git

or

	$ yum install git

Good luck

Ooops. As mentioned elsewhere, try "make configure" first.

You forgot to say "NEEDS_LIBICONV=1 NO_CURL=1" with the "make install":

	make NEEDS_LIBICONV=1 NO_CURL=1 install

This would not be necessary with ./configure, since it writes these 
settings into a file, which is read by "make".

Ciao,
Dscho

I tried

make configure

and got an error message:

/bin/sh: curl-config: command not found
make: **** No rule to make target `configure'. Stop.

Then I tried

make NEEDS_LIBICONV=1 NO_CURL=1 configure

and error message was: make: **** No rule to make target `configure'. Stop.

Okay. I deem this a bug in our Makefile.

Could you please try "autoconf" and _then_ "./configure"?

Hi,

I tried autoconf and result was:

autoconf: no input file

The offending line seems to be
        curl_check := $(shell (echo 070908; curl-config --vernum) | sort -r | sed -ne 2p)
and it is turned off if you always run make with NO_CURL=1.
Or write NO_CURL=1 (or NO_CURL=YesPlease) in the config.mak file

"autoconf -o configure configure.ac" then

By the way, from what directory you try to run make from?
autoconf default input file is configure.ac, and AFAIK it is 
present in 'master' from quite some time, and perhaps in 'maint'
as well.

What is in GIT-VERSION-FILE aftre running GIT-VERSION-GEN?


Below my results of running make configure in git/ working directory:

1047:jnareb@roke:~/git> make configure
GIT_VERSION = 1.4.2.gf713
rm -f configure configure.ac+
sed -e 's/@@GIT_VERSION@@/1.4.2.gf713/g' \
    configure.ac > configure.ac+
autoconf -o configure configure.ac+
rm -f configure.ac+

Hi,

I tried git-snapshot-20060901 and everything is now OK.

make prefix=/usr/local NEEDS_LIBICONV=1 NO_CURL=1

and

make prefix=/usr/local NEEDS_LIBICONV=1 NO_CURL=1 install

were the correct commands and git is now installed.

Thank you very much,

Tssk, tssk. Bad Dscho.

"Tiedostoa tai hakemistoa ei ole" just means "No such file or directory". 

EVERYBODY knows that.

It's not like there's even a single ä or ö in the whole sentence, so you 
can't even blame the strange letters (and that's unusual, since in 
Finnish, usually every other letter is 'ä' if only just to confuse the 
uninitiated).

Ouch.

Well, I lied. I could _read_ it. But I did not _understand_ it.

If I had read something along the lines of "Des is owwer ned douh!", I'd 
stand a chance to understand it.

Honestly, give me something like German, French, Italian, even Swedish or 
Franconian, I'll happily read and understand it. And you only understand 
it because you happened to live there, and besides drinks and sauna, there 
is nothing more interesting than this language consisting of 
multi-syllable words ;-)

Ciao,
