cmake: support for building git on windows with msvc and clang. This patch adds support for Visual Studio and Clang builds The minimum required version of CMake is upgraded to 3.15 because this version offers proper support for Clang builds on Windows. Libintl is not searched for when building with Visual Studio or Clang because there is no binary compatible version available yet. NOTE: In the link options invalidcontinue.obj has to be included. The reason for this is because by default, Windows calls abort()'s instead of setting errno=EINVAL when invalid arguments are passed to standard functions. This commit explains it in detail: 4b623d80f73528a632576990ca51e34c333d5dd6 On Windows the default generator is Visual Studio,so for Visual Studio builds do this: cmake `relative-path-to-srcdir` NOTE: Visual Studio generator is a multi config generator, which means that Debug and Release builds can be done on the same build directory. For Clang builds do this: On bash CC=clang cmake `relative-path-to-srcdir` -G Ninja -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=[Debug or Release] On cmd set CC=Clang cmake `relative-path-to-srcdir` -G Ninja -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=[Debug or Release] Signed-off-by: Sibi Siddharthan <sibisiddharthan.github@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals.
Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses, compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
Many Git online resources are accessible from https://git-scm.com/ including full documentation and Git related tools.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see Documentation/giteveryday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and Documentation/git-<commandname>.txt
for documentation of each command. If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be read with man gittutorial
or git help tutorial
, and the documentation of each command with man git-<commandname>
or git help <commandname>
.
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt (man gitcvs-migration
or git help cvs-migration
if git is installed).
The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission). To subscribe to the list, send an email with just “subscribe git” in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at https://lore.kernel.org/git/, http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.
Issues which are security relevant should be disclosed privately to the Git Security mailing list git-security@googlegroups.com.
The maintainer frequently sends the “What's cooking” reports that list the current status of various development topics to the mailing list. The discussion following them give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
The name “git” was given by Linus Torvalds when he wrote the very first version. He described the tool as “the stupid content tracker” and the name as (depending on your mood):
