Is it possible to get the GIT sources without GIT? Stupid question by me... I should use git to get git sources *before* I uninstall the apt-get version of git. The solution is in page: https://git-scm.com/downloads as this command: git clone https://github.com/git/git I used it and it finished successfully in a rather short time. What I received is the latest *development* version, but if I got the idea behind GIT I should now have a git repo locally on my RPi3 and should be able to retrieve the latest released version of git from that, right? If so how do I move forward and find the release, update to it and then build and install git from the sources? The apt-get version of the git I use now is: ~/ $git --version git version 2.1.4 Seems a bit oldish so I updated the RPi3 according to the ProGIT book section 1.5: sudo apt-get install dh-autoreconf libcurl4-gnutls-dev libexpat1-dev gettext libz-dev libssl-dev Then tried to make as per the INSTALL file. Ran for some time and succeeded. So I then also got requirements for the other stuff: sudo apt-get install asciidoc xmlto docbook2x getopt But it failed with this error: E: Unable to locate package getopt so I removed getopt from the install and all other modules installed fine. Then I did: make configure ./configure make all doc info make install install-doc install-html install-info The last line failed as follows: $ make install install-doc install-html install-info SUBDIR git-gui SUBDIR gitk-git SUBDIR perl SUBDIR templates install -d -m 755 '/usr/local/bin' install: cannot change permissions of /usr/local/bin: Operation not permitted Makefile:2408: recipe for target 'install' failed make: *** [install] Error 1 Is it not påossible to put docs and info below the ~/ dir? According to the INSTALL file on the subject of Git install it says: Git installation Normally you can just do "make" followed by "make install", and that will install the git programs in your own ~/bin/ directory. This is exactly what I would like to do instead of putting it below /usr What do I do next? -- Bo Berglund Developer in Sweden _______________________________________________ fpc-other maillist - fpc-other@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-other
