Re: Is support for 10.8 dropped?

[Igor Korot]

Hi guys,
I am going to try and build the OpenSSL and Git locally.
Search brought me here:
https://wiki.openssl.org/index.php/Compilation_and_Installation#OS_X.

Which options do I absolutely have to have for configuring OpenSSL?
Should I exclude "no--ssl2"? "no-ssl3"?

Thank you.

Building OpenSSL via homebrew or MacPorts would likely take less
space than building all of git that way, but if even that is
too much perhaps it is time to consider moving the development
environment onto an external hard drive (via USB, eSATA, or even
FireWire) -- the presumption being that the development environment
may not need to be lugged around when using the laptop as a laptop.

Yes.
This laptop is old and doesn't have too big of a hard drive.
And I'm trying to create a big program

You can place custom build settings in a file named "config.mak" which
you create; it's not part of the distribution. The other files are not
intended for modification.

Igor indicated earlier[1] in the thread that he wanted to avoid
Homebrew (and Macports, etc., presumably). If he'd be willing to use
Homebrew, then easiest would be simply to install Git itself via
Homebrew: "brew install git"

Yes, openSSL on OSX 10.8 is old. I will t to update it tonight.
But as a developer I'm trying to stay with whatever OS provides.
Because upgrading will actually means that I will have to recompile an re-test
everything I made, since I will be working on a brand new system.

This is however is an unfortunate event when I will have to upgrade...

I think the issue here is that you're using a crypto library which may
only support TLS 1.0 on 10.8[0].  GitHub requires TLS 1.2 as of
recently.  So this isn't really a problem with Git, so much as it's an
incompatibility between the version of the crypto library you're using
and GitHub.

I expect that due to the PCI DSS rules prohibiting new deployment of TLS
1.0, you'll continue to run into this issue more and more unless you
upgrade to an OS or crypto library that supports TLS 1.2.  As of June
30, TLS 1.0 will be pretty much dead on the Internet.

Explanation:  "tlsv1 alert protocol version" means that the server
requires its clients to use a newer version of TLS than what was
used in the local build of git.

Try re-building with OpenSSL enabled (remove NO_OPENSSL from
config.make). You may need to build/install OpenSSL yourself to get
this to work.

Re: Is support for 10.8 dropped?

[Igor Korot]

Hi,
Sorry for the long delay. Been busy with life things.

I built git from sources. The build was successful.

[code]
MyMac:git-2.17.0 igorkorot$ cat config.mak
NO_GETTEXT=Yes
NO_OPENSSL=Yes
[/code]

Next I tried to do git pull for my project:

[code]
MyMac:dbhandler igorkorot$ /Users/igorkorot/git-2.17.0/git pull
fatal: unable to access
'https://github.com/oneeyeman1/dbhandler.git/': error:1407742E:SSL
routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:tlsv1 alert protocol version
MyMac:dbhandler igorkorot$
[/code]

Thank you.

Easiest way to determine it is to try to compile Git without setting NO_OPENSSL.

This is because you don't have gettext installed. You should be able
to set NO_GETTEXT to work around this.

You should create a new file named "config.mak". For instance, the
content of your config.mak file might be:

NO_GETTEXT=Yes

This is what I got trying to do just "make":

MyMac:git-2.17.0 igorkorot$ make

Not sure what you're asking. Are you asking how to determine if you
already have OpenSSL built on your machine?

Note that you might be able to get by without installing OpenSSL since
Git will try to use Apple's "Common Crypto" instead, so you could
define NO_OPENSSL in config.mak and see if the project builds.

That means that you don't have the Autoconf tools installed, but don't
worry about it since use of the 'configure' script it very optional in
this project. Git tends to build just fine on most platforms without
running 'configure'. You should be able to get by just by typing
"make" in the git directory after downloading the source.

And, as noted earlier, before running "make", you may need to create
config.mak to override some settings documented at the top of Makefile
(in particular, you may want to set NO_GETTEXT if you don't want to
install gettext and don't think you'll need it). As prerequisite,
you'll probably need to install OpenSSL.

Re: Is support for 10.8 dropped?

Eric,
Sorry for multiple e-mails. I'm just trying to go thru with this.

This is what I tried:

[code]
MyMac:git-2.17.0 igorkorot$ make configure
GIT_VERSION = 2.17.0
GEN configure
/bin/sh: autoconf: command not found
make: *** [configure] Error 127
MyMac:git-2.17.0 igorkorot$
[/code]

Does this mean that something is a miss?

Thank you.

Re: Is support for 10.8 dropped?

Hi, Eric,
First of, I already have Xcode installed along with the Developer Tools.
Second, here is the list of the different dylib files I found on my system:

MyMac:/ igorkorot$ find . -name libSystem.B.dylib
./Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs/iPhoneOS7.1.sdk/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib
./Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.8.sdk/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib
./Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.9.sdk/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib
./usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib

I'm hoping that the dylib in the MacOSX10.9 directory does have that
symbol and maybe if I can check I can export this directory and let
the linker pick it up.

And apparently I was wrong:

MyMac:/ igorkorot$ nm -gU
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.9.sdk/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib
| grep strlcpy
MyMac:/ igorkorot$ nm -gU
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.8.sdk/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib
| grep strlcpy
MyMac:/ igorkorot$

I can try to build from source as this becomes my last resort. ;-)

Thank you.

Have you tried any of the suggestions at these pages for resolving this issue?

Source code for the latest release is at:
https://github.com/git/git/archive/v2.17.0.zip

To build it, you'll need to have the MacOS Developer Tools installed.
It's also quite likely that you'll need to build some prerequisite
libraries; at minimum OpenSSL. You may be able to skip other libraries
if you don't care about the functionality. Build settings which you
may need to adjust to disable dependence on libraries in which you're
not interested are documented at the top of Makefile. Place overrides
for those settings in a file named config.mak in the git directory.

This is promising...

I just tried the git-scm installer and got exactly the same error

I don't want to pollute my system with Homebrew.

Where do I get the soure code? And how do I build it?
I guess I have only one option left. ;-)

Thank you.

Until about a year ago, I was still periodically building Git from
source on MacOS 10.5, and there hasn't been any outright effort to
drop support for older MacOS, so I expect that 10.8 is still supported
by the Git project itself.

However, whether various packagers of (pre-built) Git support 10.8 is
a different matter.

It's not clear what installer you used? Was it the package from
git-scm? Was it from Homebrew?

I would guess that, even if the git-scm installer no longer supports
10.8, it is likely that Homebrew does. Have you tried it?

If both those options fail, you can always build from source.

Is support for 10.8 dropped?

[Igor Korot]

Hi, ALL,
I am a successful user of git and my project is locad on GitHub (still
in development).

I have console git client installed on  all 3 major platforms -
Windows, Linux and Mac.

Up until recently everything was working fine. However about a month
ago I started experiencing issues with OSX.

I am running OSX 10.8 and initially I was receiving the following:

[quote]
fatal: unable to access
'https://github.com/oneeyeman1/dbhandler.git/': error:1407742E:SSL
routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:tlsv1 alert protocol version
[/quote].

After asking on the stackoverflow I received a suggestion of updating
the git application.
I did that successfully) and now am getting the following:

[quote]
MyMac:dbhandler igorkorot$ /usr/local/git/bin/git pull
dyld: lazy symbol binding failed: Symbol not found: ___strlcpy_chk
  Referenced from: /usr/local/git/libexec/git-core/git
  Expected in: /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib
dyld: Symbol not found: ___strlcpy_chk
  Referenced from: /usr/local/git/libexec/git-core/git
  Expected in: /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib
error: fetch died of signal 5
[/quote]

Now my question is - how I can upgrade the git console client for my
OSX version?
It looks like all installers are written for 10.9+ and the only way to
work it is to update the OS?

Is there a version of the git console app for OSX 10.8?

Thank you.
