1.7.10.3 configure does not generate Makefiles

Hi,

I've just downloaded 1.7.10.3 source tarball and following the instruction from INSTALL, I ran the autoconf to generate the configure, then to run configure --prefix=/usr/local/git/1.7.10.3. There were no errors but there was no Makefiles generated either. How can I run the configure to generate Makefiles?

.......
configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: creating config.mak.autogen

Thank you.

Kind regards,

hce

This is as expected. Git doesn't use Automake, only Autoconf. So all it generates is a config.mak.autogen, which gets included by the Makefile which is already present on the top-level.

I thought I've sent the comments, but did not see on the forum, sorry if it is duplicated.

Thanks for all response. The Makefile is included in the source directory, but I'd like to build the git in a separated build directory, not the source directory. Is it possible to build the git in a separated build directory? Or if there is any way to geneerate a Makeifle in a separaed build directory?

Thank you.

Kind regards,

hce

I've written some CMake files to generate Makefiles and/or MSVC project files. It is still experimental, but it supports i18n, and building and running the test suite (also for MSVC).

That file is included by Makefile.
So your next steps is: make.
