Git installation
|
|
|
|
Normally you can just do "make" followed by "make install", and that
|
|
will install the git programs in your own ~/bin/ directory. If you want
|
|
to do a global install, you can do
|
|
|
|
$ make prefix=/usr all doc info ;# as yourself
|
|
# make prefix=/usr install install-doc install-info ;# as root
|
|
|
|
(or prefix=/usr/local, of course). Just like any program suite
|
|
that uses $prefix, the built results have some paths encoded,
|
|
which are derived from $prefix, so "make all; make prefix=/usr
|
|
install" would not work.
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr ;# as yourself
|
|
$ make all doc ;# as yourself
|
|
# make install install-doc ;# as root
|
|
|

Issues of note:
|
|
|
|
- Ancient versions of GNU Interactive Tools (pre-4.9.2) installed a
|
|
program "git", whose name conflicts with this program. But with
|
|
version 4.9.2, after long hiatus without active maintenance (since
|
|
around 1997), it changed its name to gnuit and the name conflict is no
|
|
longer a problem.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: When compiled with backward compatibility option, the GNU
|
|
Interactive Tools package still can install "git", but you can build it
|
|
with --disable-transition option to avoid this.
|
|
|
|
- You can use git after building but without installing if you
|
|
wanted to. Various git commands need to find other git
|
|
commands and scripts to do their work, so you would need to
|
|
arrange a few environment variables to tell them that their
|
|
friends will be found in your built source area instead of at
|
|
their standard installation area. Something like this works
|
|
for me:
|
|
|
|
GIT_EXEC_PATH=`pwd`
|
|
PATH=`pwd`:$PATH
|
|
GITPERLLIB=`pwd`/perl/blib/lib
|
|
export GIT_EXEC_PATH PATH GITPERLLIB
|
|
|
|
- Git is reasonably self-sufficient, but does depend on a few external
|
|
programs and libraries:
|
|
|
|
- "zlib", the compression library. Git won't build without it.
|
|
|
|
- "openssl". Unless you specify otherwise, you'll get the SHA1
|
|
library from here.
|
|
|
|
If you don't have openssl, you can use one of the SHA1 libraries
|
|
that come with git (git includes the one from Mozilla, and has
|
|
its own PowerPC and ARM optimized ones too - see the Makefile).
|
|
|
|
- libcurl library; git-http-fetch and git-fetch use them. You
|
|
might also want the "curl" executable for debugging purposes.
|
|
If you do not use http transfer, you are probably OK if you
|
|
do not have them.
|
|
|
|
- expat library; git-http-push uses it for remote lock
|
|
management over DAV. Similar to "curl" above, this is optional.
|
|
|
|
- "wish", the Tcl/Tk windowing shell is used in gitk to show the
|
|
history graphically, and in git-gui.
|
|
|
|
- "ssh" is used to push and pull over the net
|
|
|
|
- "perl" and POSIX-compliant shells are needed to use most of
|
|
the bare-bones Porcelainish scripts.
|
|
|
|
- Some platform specific issues are dealt with Makefile rules,
|
|
but depending on your specific installation, you may not
|
|
have all the libraries/tools needed, or you may have
|
|
necessary libraries at unusual locations. Please look at the
|
|
top of the Makefile to see what can be adjusted for your needs.
|
|
You can place local settings in config.mak and the Makefile
|
|
will include them. Note that config.mak is not distributed;
|
|
the name is reserved for local settings.
|
|
|
|
- To build and install documentation suite, you need to have
|
|
the asciidoc/xmlto toolchain. Because not many people are
|
|
inclined to install the tools, the default build target
|
|
("make all") does _not_ build them.
|
|
|
|
Building and installing the info file additionally requires
|
|
makeinfo and docbook2X. Version 0.8.3 is known to work.
|
|
|
|
The documentation is written for AsciiDoc 7, but "make
|
|
ASCIIDOC8=YesPlease doc" will let you format with AsciiDoc 8.
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, pre-formatted documentation are available in
|
|
"html" and "man" branches of the git repository itself. For
|
|
example, you could:
|
|
|
|
$ mkdir manual && cd manual
|
|
$ git init
|
|
$ git fetch-pack git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git man html |
|
|
while read a b
|
|
do
|
|
echo $a >.git/$b
|
|
done
|
|
$ cp .git/refs/heads/man .git/refs/heads/master
|
|
$ git checkout
|
|
|
|
to checkout the pre-built man pages. Also in this repository:
|
|
|
|
$ git checkout html
|
|
|
|
would instead give you a copy of what you see at:
|
|
|
|
http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/
|
|
|
|
It has been reported that docbook-xsl version 1.72 and 1.73 are
|
|
buggy; 1.72 misformats manual pages for callouts, and 1.73 needs
|
|
the patch in contrib/patches/docbook-xsl-manpages-charmap.patch
