Subject: msysgit won't install as per instructions
Date: Thu, 29 Oct 2009 12:38:36 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <DyCV4WDMzY6KFwha@thewolery.demon.co.uk> (raw)
I want to do some work on git-daemon under msysgit. And as a newbie to
git it could well be I'm just being stupid, but ...
I installed msysgit, did a clone on the msysgit repository, and followed
the instructions, namely double-click on msys.bat. It falls over with
"no target for make install" - I know make well enough to know that
*sounds* *like* a messed up makefile. But lack of experience means
trying to track how it got there defeats me. The error output is below.
Cheers,
Wol
