These scripts generate projects for the MSVC IDE (.vcproj files) or QMake (.pro files), based on the output of a 'make -n MSVC=1 V=1' run. This enables us to simply do the necesarry changes in the Makefile, and you can update the other buildsystems by regenerating the files. Keeping the other buildsystems up-to-date with main development. The generator system is designed to easily drop in pm's for other buildsystems as well, if someone has an itch. However, the focus has been Windows development, so the 'engine' might need patches to support any platform. Also add some .gitignore entries for MSVC files.

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 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!
