git package for Mac OS X

I’ve been looking at git for source control, and put together a Mac OS X package installer that will install a Universal binary of git and its man pages into /usr/local. The pax archive in pkg files seems to seriously expand the size — 30M of program files make for a >100M installer!

I’ve only tried this on Intel Macs, so your mileage may vary.

git-1.5.2.4.pkg.zip (113M)

Update: See the newest version.

Update: ~~Also give the torrent a try: git-1.5.4.2.pkg.zip.torrent~~

Edit: this page will hold further updates for this package.

Thanks for this! I tried building git for OSX so I could get LINA to build but kept getting an annoying “/usr/bin/ld: can’t locate file for: -lexpat” error. How did you get around that?

You should only need expat if you want to enable git-push over http/https. The configure script should detect that it isn’t there.

FWIW, the configure and compile commands I used (for the 1.5.3.1 release) are:

NO_DARWIN_PORTS=1 CFLAGS='-O -arch i386 -arch ppc' LDFLAGS='-arch i386 -arch ppc' ./configure --prefix=/usr/local make NO_DARWIN_PORTS=1 make install NO_DARWIN_PORTS=1 DESTDIR=/Users/csm/Source/git-install

Then I use PackageMaker to create the package. My system has MacPorts on it, and you need to do something similar to NO_DARWIN_PORTS if you use fink.

looks like the macport version has version 1.5.5, as an option, too
