Hey folks,
I'm compiling git on Solaris 10 and 11 SPARC and X86 using the Sun Studio
12.x compilers.
git doesn't compile out of the box, there are (see below) lots of tweaks to
have it use open source stuff in /usr/local/* and also to pass some of the
configure tests for inet_ntop and -lintl.
This recipe below fixes everything and I'm on to using git now.
Thanks,
Mark.

Thanks for an interest in Git, but I am somewhat dissapointed by your
message. As our Makefiles strive to offer necessary knobs to tweak from
the command line for platform-specific glitches, from "Recipe included" on
the subject, I think people would have expected to see something like:
gmake VAR1=VAL1 \
VAR2=VAL2 \
VAR3=VAL3 ...
or perhaps:
cat >config.mak <<-EOF
VAR1=VAL1
VAR2=VAL2
...
EOF
and not a sequence of commands to rewrite files in-tree.
Other people have built git on Solaris but probably not many people have
done so recently. The platform specific knobs in our Makefiles may have
to be extended to accomodate newer version of Solaris. So the "Recipe"
may not be just the series of make variables, but needs a patch or two to
the Makefile to enhance the tweaks.
See 614dd90 (Makefile: SunOS 5.6 portability fix, 2010-05-14) for an
example of such a patch.
Thanks.

I'm building for solaris 9+ at OpenCSW with the studio compilers.

I use the following patch for -lintl:
https://gar.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/gar/csw/mgar/pkg/git/trunk/files/0007-on-solaris-we-need-to-use-lintl-to-allow-the-new-i18.patch
(For some reason, I didn't get around to generalizing it for
submission yet.)
The build recipe I'm using (for our build system GAR) is here:
https://gar.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/gar/csw/mgar/pkg/git/trunk/Makefile
(There is some baggage in the recipe that needs cleanup, such as old
patches that are merged or no longer required, but it builds a nice
clean package that passes the test suite.)
Hope that helps.
Thanks
-Ben
