The Steps of Build Git with VS2008 | ||
|
||
1. You need the build environment, which contains the Git dependencies | ||
to be able to compile, link and run Git with MSVC. | ||
|
||
You can either use the binary repository: | ||
|
||
WWW: http://repo.or.cz/w/msvcgit.git | ||
Git: git clone git://repo.or.cz/msvcgit.git | ||
Zip: http://repo.or.cz/w/msvcgit.git?a=snapshot;h=master;sf=zip | ||
|
||
and call the setup_32bit_env.cmd batch script before compiling Git, | ||
(see repo/package README for details), or the source repository: | ||
|
||
WWW: http://repo.or.cz/w/gitbuild.git | ||
Git: git clone git://repo.or.cz/gitbuild.git | ||
Zip: (None, as it's a project with submodules) | ||
|
||
and build the support libs as instructed in that repo/package. | ||
|
||
2. Ensure you have the msysgit environment in your path, so you have | ||
GNU Make, bash and perl available. | ||
|
||
WWW: http://repo.or.cz/w/msysgit.git | ||
Git: git clone git://repo.or.cz/msysgit.git | ||
Zip: http://repo.or.cz/w/msysgit.git?a=snapshot;h=master;sf=zip | ||
|
||
This environment is also needed when you use the resulting | ||
executables, since Git might need to run scripts which are part of | ||
the git operations. | ||
|
||
3. Inside Git's directory run the command: | ||
make common-cmds.h | ||
to generate the common-cmds.h file needed to compile git. | ||
|
||
4. Then build Git with the GNU Make Makefile in the Git projects root | ||
make MSVC=1 | ||
|
||
Done! |
