Re: Compiling on Windows

quoted

I once wrote a little step-by-step tutorial on how to compile the 
native Windows Git with MSVC (Express).

http://blog.vfrconsultancy.nl/#post0

The blog post filled in a few gaps in the Msysgit README instructions 
about where to place the various downloads described.

I updated the post a little so that it actually works again. I somehow 
like to have a real native Windows compilation of Git.

To successfully compile Git, we also need to change

#include <sys/resource.h>

into

#include <io.h>

I have seen some communication about this in the past, but nobody cared 
enough to fix this.

Shall I sent a patch that adds a file "compat/win32/sys/resource.h" 
which just includes "io.h" ? Or is there another more prefered way to 
fix this ?
