Git, Parrot, Perl6, Rakudo for G4 MAC

Git, Parrot, Perl6, Rakudo for G4 MAC

[Greg]

Howdy:

Could someone please assist me in locating the resources to "GIT" 
 this stuff going on a G4 MAC PPC?  I 
keep getting weird bugs.  
Need me to be more explicit?  Ok - it says gcc v3.3 isn't compatible, and a 
bunch of other sheet!

I'd like to start messing with this while I'm waiting for my Debian
 Linux box to be returned. (A friend 
borrowed it to do some work:  
He installed a horribly virulent bug called WInBlows XP!!!!)  

I already have Perl5.10.1 working fine, and performing 
numerous marvelous tasks, so I (perhaps 
mistakenly) thought it would be an easy addition.


Cheers,

Greg

GCC 3.3 is from May 2003, I suggest you upgrade to a more recent GCC
(probably 4.6).

Perl 5.10.1 is from August 2009. Presumably less of a problem but,
again, you should probably upgrade to something more recent.

(Please note that I don't know the minimum requirements in this regard
for Git. It's just that your tools are old to ancient. :-) )

Yes, you need to be more explicit.  Please copy'n'paste exact error
messages that you get compiling Git.

I don't have experience compiling Git for PPC, but on i386 I can
compile Git without problems with gcc 4.0.2.

Git requires Perl version 5.8 at least, so you should not have any
problems here.

One day someone [1] reminded me that git does not require perl.  Some
features, like git add -p, require it but git can be built without
perl.

[1] on irc, while discussing my stated requirements for gitolite

Thank you very much for all your help.  After a tiny bit of
consideration, I've decided to sell my G4, for whatever I can get on
the local Craigslist, and install Linux, or FreeBSD on this &^%^$$&*!!
Wintel machine.

Copying my several dozen useful Perl and shell scripts, will be much
easier to accomplish than "GITting" the other stuff to install on a
PPC MAC.  I love programming, but INSTALLING software is boring!

Thanks again,

Hmmm... isn't there some pre-compiled Git to be installed on PPC Mac
(Homebrew, git-osx-installer linked from Git Homepage)?

Hej,
you actually don't need perl, if I remember my experimenta with git under
G4 MAC PPC right.

See the Makefile:
# Define NO_PERL if you do not want Perl scripts or libraries at all

And, if I remember it right, git (the selfe compiled) stopped
working after 1.7.0 or so.
I didn't do a bisect, since that machine runs linux most of the time.
