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: <blockquote><code>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</code></blockquote> 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. You should only need expat if you want to enable git-push over http/https.

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? Thanks for this!
