PowerMac available for PPC support #56

Open noloader opened 8 years ago

noloader commented 8 years ago

I have an older OS X 10.5 PowerMac G5. The arch's are ppc7400 and ppc64. It has Xcode 3.1.4 installed; and GCC 4.0.1 installed.

Myself and a few others use it for testing under the PowerPC. I work primarily with the Crypto++ project (http://www.cryptopp.com/). Others include some of the OpenSSL devs (https://openssl.org/) and the Cryptlib devs (https://www.cs.auckland.ac.nz/~pgut001/cryptlib/).

We are trying to install Git :)

You are welcomed to an account on the machine if you'd like to support this older Mac for historical reasons. Email me your SSH key at noloader, gmail account.

It might also be helpful if the README calls out the steps that should be performed to build git. After adding OS X 10.5 support to the makefile, a simple make did not produce any artifacts. make download worked after tweaking cURL; but make compile did not work.

Also, the Homebrew dependency is unwanted. We don't want to maintain Macport or Homebrew. You might consider making the docs optional. Also see GNU Coding Standards: Standard Makefile Targets.
