Both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Git for Windows are built in the 64-bit Git for Windows SDK, however, whose uname -m always reports x86_64. Even for 32-bit Git for Windows. Let's fix that by going back to the pre-processor magic, making it specific to Git for Windows' SDK (where it actually is complete). This is yet another patch I forgot to upstream, and I hope that it will make it into v2.21.0-rc1.

And make it explicitly > Windows-specific. b22894049f (version --build-options: also report host CPU, 2017-12-15) took this sort of case into consideration by introducing Makefile variable HOST_CPU (which takes precedence over `uname -m`), with the intention that, when cross-compiling, your build environment should (somehow) set HOST_CPU to the canonical name of the CPU on which the built Git will run (for instance, "x86_64" or "i686"). It would be nice to employ this mechanism to solve this issue rather than (re-)introducing a manually-maintained list of CPU names. Can you say a few words (here in the email thread) about how the Git for Windows SDK is instructed to build for one architecture or the other? With such information, perhaps we can figure out how to get the build environment itself to set HOST_CPU automatically so we don't have to resort to and worry about maintenance costs of a hard-coded CPU name list. > Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de> > --- > diff --git a/compat/mingw.h b/compat/mingw.h > @@ -6,6 +6,25 @@ typedef _sigset_t sigset_t; > +#ifdef __MINGW64_VERSION_MAJOR > +/* > + * In Git for Windows, we cannot rely on `uname -m` to report the correct > + * architecture: /usr/bin/uname.exe will report the architecture with which the > + * current MSYS2 runtime was built, not the architecture for which we are > + * currently compiling (both 32-bit and 64-bit `git.exe` is built in the 64-bit > + * Git for Windows SDK). > + */ > +#undef GIT_HOST_CPU > +/* This was figured out by looking at `cpp -dM </dev/null`'s output */ > +#if defined(__x86_64__) > +#define GIT_HOST_CPU "x86_64" > +#elif defined(__i686__) > +#define GIT_HOST_CPU "i686" > +#else > +#error "Unknown architecture" > +#endif > +#endif ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

Heh, this is also manually-maintained, but I agree that it is cleaner. > Can you say a few words (here in the email thread) about how the Git > for Windows SDK is instructed to build for one architecture or the > other? To cross-compile a 32-bit Git in a 64-bit Git for Windows SDK, use this incantation: MSYSTEM=MINGW32 PATH=/mingw32/bin:$PATH make > With such information, perhaps we can figure out how to get the build > environment itself to set HOST_CPU automatically so we don't have to > resort to and worry about maintenance costs of a hard-coded CPU name > list. Indeed, we can set HOST_CPU in the same conditionals as prefix (which is /mingw32 for 32-bit and /mingw64 for 64-bit) in config.mak.uname.

I guess this affects nobody other than you and perhaps J6t, the point not being "there are only just two" but being "all of them know how to deal with possible breakages if any in this change". I am tempted to bypass the usual "from pu down to next down to master" dance on this one, because of that. ;-) ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

Correct. This patch is already in Git for Windows, so contributors building from that fork will have had the problem already. > I am tempted to bypass the usual "from pu down to next down to > master" dance on this one, because of that. > > ;-) I would be very grateful for that :-) Ciao, Dscho ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread
