will install the git programs in your own ~/bin/ directory. If you want
to do a global install, you can do
- $ make prefix=/usr ;# as yourself
- # make prefix=/usr install ;# as root
+ $ make prefix=/usr all doc ;# as yourself
+ # make prefix=/usr install install-doc ;# as root
(or prefix=/usr/local, of course). Just like any program suite
that uses $prefix, the built results have some paths encoded,
have all the libraries/tools needed, or you may have
necessary libraries at unusual locations. Please look at the
top of the Makefile to see what can be adjusted for your needs.
+ You can place local settings in config.mak and the Makefile
+ will include them. Note that config.mak is not distributed;
+ the name is reserved for local settings.
+
+ - To build and install documentation suite, you need to have the
+ asciidoc/xmlto toolchain. Alternatively, pre-formatted
+ documentation are available in "html" and "man" branches of the git
+ repository itself. For example, you could:
+
+ $ mkdir manual && cd manual
+ $ git init-db
+ $ git clone-pack git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git man html |
+ while read a b
+ do
+ echo $a >.git/$b
+ done
+ $ cp .git/refs/heads/man .git/refs/heads/master
+ $ git checkout
+
+ to checkout the pre-built man pages. Also in this repository:
+
+ $ git checkout html
+
+ would instead give you a copy of what you see at:
+
+ http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/
