Windows install errors #280

Closed rswindell closed 9 years ago

rswindell commented 10 years ago

This is my first time installing msysgit, which I pulled down today and executed from https://github.com/msysgit/msysgit/releases/download/Git-1.9.4-preview20140929/msysGit-netinstall-1.9.4-preview20140929.exe After the length install/build process, I was resented with a MINGW32:/git window with the following errors (or warnings):

Hello, dear Git developer.

This is a minimal MSYS environment to work on Git.

You are in the git working tree, and all is ready for you to hack.

Welcome to msysGit

Run 'git help git' to display the help index. Run 'git help ' to display help for specific commands. Run '/share/msysGit/add-shortcut.tcl' to add a shortcut to msysGit. sh.exe": /tools/bin/common.profile: No such file or directory sh.exe": stty: command not found sh.exe": stty: command not found sh.exe": logname: command not found sh.exe": w: command not found Usage: grep [OPTION]... PATTERN [FILE]... Try `grep --help' for more information.

Please note that it was never the intention of anybody involved in the Git for Windows project to resent you.

:grinning:

Second, I suspect that your real intention was to install Git for Windows, not the development environment to develop Git for Windows itself (msysGit is this development environment).

Third, if you want to find out what is going wrong, and you are sure that you specified an installation directory that was not prepopulated yet (which could very well lead to the symptoms described above) please consider tracing the executions at Bash startup.

Silence is good. Silence means the bug was resolved. Or so I want to believe. Not much evidence to the contrary, at least :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
