1 | The Steps of Build Git with VS2008 |
2 | ||
3 | 1. You need the build environment, which contains the Git dependencies | |
4 | to be able to compile, link and run Git with MSVC. | |
5 | ||
6 | You can either use the binary repository: | |
7 | ||
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 | |
11 | ||
12 | and call the setup_32bit_env.cmd batch script before compiling Git, | |
13 | (see repo/package README for details), or the source repository: | |
14 | ||
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) | |
18 | ||
19 | and build the support libs as instructed in that repo/package. | |
20 | ||
21 | 2. Ensure you have the msysgit environment in your path, so you have | |
22 | GNU Make, bash and perl available. | |
23 | ||
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 | |
27 | ||
28 | This environment is also needed when you use the resulting | |
29 | executables, since Git might need to run scripts which are part of | |
30 | the git operations. | |
31 | ||
32 | 3. Inside Git's directory run the command: | |
ede8d89b JS |
33 | make command-list.h |
34 | to generate the command-list.h file needed to compile git. | |

36 | 4. Then either build Git with the GNU Make Makefile in the Git projects |
37 | root | |
a2c6bf0e | 38 | make MSVC=1 |
259d87c3 MSO |
39 | or generate Visual Studio solution/projects (.sln/.vcproj) with the |
40 | command | |
41 | perl contrib/buildsystems/generate -g Vcproj | |
42 | and open and build the solution with the IDE | |
43 | devenv git.sln /useenv | |
44 | or build with the IDE build engine directly from the command line | |
45 | devenv git.sln /useenv /build "Release|Win32" | |
46 | The /useenv option is required, so Visual Studio picks up the | |
47 | environment variables for the support libraries required to build | |
48 | Git, which you set up in step 1. | |
