I know we have git in optlocal, but I'd like to get a version of it natively in irixports.

I've patched around all the wacky PRI issues, but now I'm failing with this 'conflicting types' error:

C:
    CC repository.o
    CC rerere.o
    CC resolve-undo.o
    CC revision.o
    CC run-command.o

Here's my current patchfile, as well as my branch in irixports:

Just rename the function to atfork_parent_git or whatever, find where it's used and replace there as well - it's used in only one place and that's within the same file, so basically a search and replace will fix this.

Why you're hitting this is because unfortunately there's an IRIX function with the exact same name.

Hey- so my irixports install of git failed..

I had those issues before. What did you do to get imap working?

Again, this is from ./package.sh install in git directory....


Uhmmm - why is it referencing onre's directory?

What's your shell set up like now?

It's referencing that because that's where it was compiled. Similar to how IRIX system libs tell us a bit about the path structure of the machines that were used to build IRIX.

One way of solving this is to supply --unresolved-symbols=ignore-all to that particular link command. _rld_new_interface is defined runtime by rld so it's not available when linking. I wonder if there's some way of telling ld not to worry about this particular symbol?
