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 command-list.h
|
|
to generate the command-list.h file needed to compile git.
|
|
|
|
4. Then either build Git with the GNU Make Makefile in the Git projects
|
|
root
|
|
make MSVC=1
|
|
or generate Visual Studio solution/projects (.sln/.vcproj) with the
|
|
command
|
|
perl contrib/buildsystems/generate -g Vcproj
|
|
and open and build the solution with the IDE
|
|
devenv git.sln /useenv
|
|
or build with the IDE build engine directly from the command line
|
|
devenv git.sln /useenv /build "Release|Win32"
|
|
The /useenv option is required, so Visual Studio picks up the
|
|
environment variables for the support libraries required to build
|
|
Git, which you set up in step 1.
|
|
|
|
Done!
