Using mingw-perl #362

Closed Alexpux closed 9 years ago

Alexpux commented 9 years ago

I'm not an expert in Perl so Ihave a question: what problems to get working git with native Win32 perl?

Also offtopic about https://github.com/git-for-windows/build-extra/blob/master/markdown Why not use markdown provided by https://github.com/Alexpux/MINGW-packages/tree/master/mingw-w64-discount

Regards, Alexey.

Our most important user of Perl is git-svn, requiring the Subversion bindings. As soon as we have that for native Win32 Perl, there is no problem to switch to native Perl.

My markdown package predated yours, and I simply did not have the time to adjust build-extra: your markdown uses a less intuitive executable name, therefore adjustments are necessary before it will work.

BTW you opened this ticket for the Git for Windows 1.x project (which does not use build-extra); did you mean to open it for Git for Windows 2.x?

Alexpux commented 9 years ago

Yeah I mean Git4Win2

Alexpux commented 9 years ago

Package "discount" provide markdown.exe executable.

Closing here. Please also note that I had substantial trouble last time I tried to get native Perl to work, because we require the Subversion bindings in Perl for git svn to work...
