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