git.exe not found #180

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. execute gource.exe on a git project

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected output is a virtualization. Instead I get an error.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Windows 7 Pro (Version 6.1.7601)

Please provide any additional information below.
It seems gource tries to find git.exe manually, instead of asking for it in 
PATH, though I haven't checked the source code.

Hi.

It uses the Windows 'SearchPath' function to look for git.exe, so I'm not sure 
why that would be failing. 

Maybe there is some shell magic going on and you don't actually have a git.exe 
in PATH?

C:\Users\Tyrope>SearchPath
'SearchPath' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable 
program or batch file.

(apologies for repost, was using wrong account)

Yeah it's a C function not a shell command.

What's the output of running 'git' and 'echo %PATH%' in cmd, tyrope?

What is in D:\Git\cmd ? Is it git.cmd? 

If so, according to this post git.cmd was renamed git.exe in newer versions of 
Git for Windows:

ence-and-which-one-should-be-used

So you might be able to fix it by installing a new version.
