It mostly miserabely fails because of common "shell commands" being used with GNU options. (like xargs, diff, tr and prob. some more) On my box (and thats AFAIK the default when you install gnu coreutils on Solaris) the commands do have a g prefix. So there are 2 possible solutions to get git working on Solaris. 1. fix every single shellscript automatically during the build phase 2. setup a dir which contains symlinks to the "right" binaries and put that dir into PATH. No matter what solution is chosen to be the best, I'm volunteering to create a patch for it. :) (although I personally prefer the second, because its easier...) bye Stefan -- http://www.dreamind.de/ Oroborus and Debian GNU/Linux Developer.
