Re: Git on MSys (or how to make it easy for Windows users to compile git)

Even if it installs ok under Wine, git may not work properly 
because a bug in dup2() not duplicating to 0-2 and some others
that I think only affect tests. So get XP if you can or prepare
to fix Wine along the way.

Yeah, I wasn't going to use it under Wine actually. Just wanted
to see if I could get it building there, to ease automated
packaging later. However, I've given up on it, due to a perl
issue, which might be caused by the issue you describe.

You could cross-compile it. You'll need a cross toolchain, zlib
stuff and a good config.mak (I can send you one if you have trouble
with it).

I would definitely be interested in your config.mak file!
Thanks!
