Failed to build from source
luked99 opened this issue · 8 comments
I downloaded the sdk and tried to build, but it failed:
$ sdk build git
....
....
git-compat-util.h:321:10: fatal error: openssl/ssl.h: No such file or directory
#include <openssl/ssl.h>
Windows 7.
git is at e2d2aac684
Hmm, this file should be there: https://github.com/git-for-windows/git-sdk-64/tree/master/mingw64/include/openssl/
I think the file is present, but there's some kind of weird path problem going on.

Probably. You were quite a bit scarce on details. How do you call into the SDK? Do you run the git-bash.exe from the top-level directory?
Had a similar issue here (also on linux, but there you need to install libopenssl-dev and it builds). Using git-bash.exe seems to rectify it. Build went through.

What else would you use?
For whatever reason I had an MSYS2 terminal open after initial installation. Not sure if it was my readme-aversion, but I was sort of lost there... Anyway. Building with visual studio doesn't work, gives the same error... mingw.h: openssl/ssl.h not found. Curious. Same first error on all toolchains I tried.
@jglathe could you please kindly explain in a lot of detail how you try to build Git? Because it sure is not the way recommended in https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/wiki/Building-Git. And without gracing others with that kind of rather crucial information, it is not help you will get, but frustration, and not only you.
