re-entrant linkable library with a solid API, allowing you to write native

speed custom Git applications in any language with bindings.

Installing libgit2
|
||||
==================================
|
||||
|
||||
Libgit2 uses the waf build system. To build it, first configure the build
|
||||
system by running:
|
||||
|
||||
$ ./waf configure
|
||||
|
||||
Then build the library:
|
||||
|
||||
$ ./waf build
|
||||
|
||||
You can then test the library with:
|
||||
|
||||
$ ./waf test
|
||||
|
||||
And finally you can install it with (you may need to sudo):
|
||||
|
||||
$ ./waf install
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Why Do We Need It

* basic index file (staging area) operations

Installing libgit2
|
||||
Building libgit2 - Unix systems
|
||||
==================================
|
||||
|
||||
$ git clone git://github.com/libgit2/libgit2.git
|
||||
$ cd libgit2
|
||||
$ make
|
||||
$ make install
|
||||
In Unix-like systems, like Linux, *BSD and Mac OS X, libgit2 has
|
||||
the following dependencies:
|
||||
|
||||
That should get it installed on Mac, Linux or Windows.
|
||||
Once that is done, you should be able to link the library to your program
|
||||
with a normal "-lgit2".
|
||||
- Python 2.5-3.1 <http://www.python.org>
|
||||
Used by run the build system; no extra libraries required.
|
||||
Should probably ship installed with your OS.
|
||||
|
||||
- zlib 1.2+ <http://www.zlib.net/>
|
||||
|
||||
- LibSSL <http://www.openssl.org/>
|
||||
Only needed if you want to re-use OpenSSL's SHA1 routines;
|
||||
libgit2 compiles its own routines by default.
|
||||
|
||||
To build it, first configure the build system by running:
|
||||
|
||||
$ ./waf configure
|
||||
|
||||
Then build the library, either in its shared (libgit2.so) or static form (libgit2.a)
|
||||
|
||||
$ ./waf build-static
|
||||
$ ./waf build-shared
|
||||
|
||||
You can then test the library with:
|
||||
|
||||
$ ./waf test
|
||||
|
||||
And finally you can install it with (you may need to sudo):
|
||||
|
||||
$ ./waf install
|
||||
|
||||
Building libgit2 - Windows MSVC++
|
||||
==================================
|
||||
|
||||
When building under Windows using the MSVC compiler, libgit2 has
|
||||
the following dependencies:
|
||||
|
||||
- Python 2.5-3.1 <http://www.python.org>
|
||||
Used by run the build system; no extra libraries required.
|
||||
|
||||
- zlib 1.2+ (Windows API Version) <http://www.zlib.net/>
|
||||
Make sure you compile the ZLib library using the MSVC solution
|
||||
that ships in its source distribution.
|
||||
Alternatively, you may download precompiled binaries from:
|
||||
http://www.winimage.com/zLibDll/
|
||||
|
||||
- LibSSL <http://www.openssl.org/>
|
||||
Only needed if you want to re-use OpenSSL's SHA1 routines;
|
||||
libgit2 compiles its own routines by default.
|
||||
|
||||
To build it, first configure the build system by running:
|
||||
|
||||
$ ./waf configure
|
||||
|
||||
Then build the library, either in its shared (libgit2.dll) or static form (libgit2.lib)
|
||||
|
||||
$ ./waf build-static
|
||||
$ ./waf build-shared
|
||||
|
||||
You can then test the library with:
|
||||
|
||||
$ ./waf test
|
||||
|
||||
Lastly, you can manually install the generated *.lib and *.dll files, depending on
|
||||
your preferences.
|
||||
|
||||
Building libgit2 - Windows MinGW
|
||||
==================================
|
||||
|
||||
When building under Windows using the GCC compiler that ships with MinGW,
|
||||
libgit2 has the following dependencies:
|
||||
|
||||
- Python 2.5-3.1 <http://www.python.org>
|
||||
Used by run the build system; no extra libraries required.
|
||||
|
||||
- zlib 1.2+ <http://www.zlib.net/>
|
||||
|
||||
- pthreads-w32 <http://sourceware.org/pthreads-win32/>
|
||||
Or an equivalent pthreads implementation for non-POSIX systems
|
||||
|
||||
- LibSSL <http://www.openssl.org/>
|
||||
Only needed if you want to re-use OpenSSL's SHA1 routines;
|
||||
libgit2 compiles its own routines by default.
|
||||
|
||||
To build it, first configure the build system and force GCC as the compiler,
|
||||
instead of the default MSVC:
|
||||
|
||||
$ ./waf configure --check-c-compiler=gcc
|
||||
|
||||
Then build the library, either in its shared (libgit2.so) or static form (libgit2.a)
|
||||
|
||||
$ ./waf build-static
|
||||
$ ./waf build-shared
|
||||
|
||||
You can then test the library with:
|
||||
|
||||
$ ./waf test
|
||||
|
||||
And finally you can install it with:
|
||||
|
||||
$ ./waf install
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Configuration settings
|
||||
==================================
|
||||
|
||||
The waf build system for libgit2 accepts the following flags:
|
||||
|
||||
--debug
|
||||
build the library with debug symbols.
|
||||
Defaults to off.
|
||||
|
||||
--sha1=[builtin|ppc|openssl]
|
||||
use the builtin SHA1 functions, the optimized PPC versions
|
||||
or the SHA1 functions from LibCrypto (OpenSSL).
|
||||
Defaults to 'builtin'.
|
||||
|
||||
You can run `./waf --help` to see a full list of install options and
|
||||
targets.

||||

||||
