@ -5,27 +5,6 @@ libgit2 is a portable, pure C implementation of the Git core methods provided as
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
==================================
@ -55,18 +34,127 @@ libgit2 is already very usable.

* 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.
Language Bindings
