gEDA-dev: [Fwd: Re: Considering git]

[Alan M. Feldstein]

The error messages from the "find" command were nonsense. The important 
error message came after all of those:

    install: git-convert-objects was not found anywhere!

This happens because of the way

    /usr/sbin/install

interprets

    $(INSTALL) $(ALL_PROGRAMS) '$(DESTDIR_SQ)$(gitexecdir_SQ)'

It searches for the first program, git-convert-objects, in all of the 
"directories" that follow it. If the file is not found, the "install" 
command states this and exits. Well, most of those things are not 
directories. They're more programs.

A solution is to set

    INSTALL = /usr/ucb/install

for SunOS.

Staying in sync with the Icarus Verilog Git repository so that I can 
continue to contribute requires that I deal with Git. Let me share with 
you some of the issues encountered while attempting Git installation on 
Solaris 10.

   * Now I'm attacking a problem where the "find" command cannot follow
     symbolic links. In other words, I still haven't finished
     installing Git.
