Am a newby and I cannot compile git

[Fabio Aiuto]

Hello again my problem is that I cannot compile git.
The error message says:

	Type'z_stream' could not be resolved

I don't know why, because I installed the package zlib1g-dev and in the
header file zlib.h this structure is declared. Help me!!!

It'd be difficult to debug without more context:

Do you mind sharing your build log and more informationa about your
setup? (e.g., what OS are you running, what packages are installed, how
did you get the git sources, etc.)

Thanks,
-Santiago.

Re: Am a newby and I cannot compile git

[Fabio Aiuto]

Hello Santiago,
I'm running debian Stretch on my machine, and using Eclipse. I'm new in
linux world so I don't know how could I let you know all packages I've
installed in a single screenshot.
However I got the git sources with the following command:

$ git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git

then I've opened the project inside Eclipse by importing a makefile
project from existing code. I tried to build several time beacuse of
some compilation errors that I fixed by installing the following
packages:

$ sudo apt-get install zlib1g-dev
$ sudo apt-get install libcurl-dev
$ sudo apt-get install libcurl4-openssl-dev
$ sudo apt-get install libexpat1-dev

At last no building errors detected but when I try to run adebug
session, the IDE says tat 'Program file does not exist'. And there are
more errors spread over the project wich are not detected.When i do the
rebuild by clicking the 'hammer' icon, the message in the console
window says:
20:04:07 **** Incremental Build of configuration Default for project
git ****
make all 
    SUBDIR git-gui
    SUBDIR gitk-git
    SUBDIR templates

20:04:08 Build Finished (took 866ms)

Please ask me for more informations!!!!
Thank you

Ok I typed make install from the terminal, then I attached the the
project to the executable generated in the local bin directory. So I
can happily trace in the code. Thank you, hope I will be able to fix
things in git very soon!!!

Awesome,

Do consider reading the files under Documentation (as other people
suggested) to make it easier to contribute. There's CodingGuidelines
and SubmittingPatches that are super useful :)

Good luck!
-Santiago.

Hello Santiago,
how could I get a first task? A simple one please, I'd like being
introduced to git developing as a participant in order to get used to
submitting patches, and all the tools I need.
Thank you in advance.
Fabio.
