[leak]

Requirements:

Msysgit version required: 1.7+

Minimum required TC rev: b2404c1a26d9 (10997)

Setup options:

Fixes "Missing or outdated git - did you forget to install a recent version?"

During the install I selected the second option but there's still no revision information. Tried installing in both the default path and windows directory. Using newest Git from http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/

What does entering

echo %PATH%

in a command window return to you?

Same problem with me on my 64 bit Windows Vista computer.

echo %PATH% returns:

C:\Users\XXXX>echo %PATH%

C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem;C:\Program Files (x86)\A

ft SQL Server\90\Tools\binn\;C:\Program Files (x86)\QuickTime\QTSystem\;C:\Progr

am Files (x86)\Git\cmd

I installed both Git and GitExtensions in C:\Program Files (x86) and my Build (cmake), TDB, and TrinityCore folders in C:\ in their own folders. I installed Git like you stated above, so any idea what I'm doing wrong?

If things like "C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\cmd" show up in your PATH variable and that folder also contains the executables/scripts everything should work fine.

I do have "C:\Program Files\Git\cmd " in my path but revision still shows up as 0. I doubt my Git installation is the problem.

If things like "C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\cmd" show up in your PATH variable and that folder also contains the executables/scripts everything should work fine.

So we need to pull our Trinity Core clone into the PATH folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\Trinity as an example) now?

[daddelkopp]

I think I got it

During installation of GitExtension (Installation Option 2+3) the fallowing folder will be added to path variable:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\cmd

But in this folder you will only find batchfiles, no executeables.

As mentioned above, I try to insert the folder where the git executeables are located:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin" (At Windows 32 Bit "C:\Program Files\Git\bin").

So I add "C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin" to path variable (without "") and cmake was able to get trinity reviosion number

Please clear your cmake cache or delete the whole build directory!

[leak]

This is only of interest if you're planning to push commits to remote locations like github.

[Billy]

OK, I'm using Win Vista 32bit, installed Git Extensions 2.21, put "C:\Program Files\Git\bin" & "C:\Program Files\Git\cmd" into my PATH, uninstalled Git Extensions and started over several times using the 2nd option which adds it to the path, and still I get a db_version of 0 whenever I open up my world db and go to the table "version". So apparently I'm missing something some where. Any ideas?

PS: "C:\Program Files\GetExtensions" is in the path statement as well.

Nevermind, I uninstalled everything, deleted the associated folders, and re-installed, and now it's working.

I am having issues getting the revision info to display. I have tried reinstalling and recompiling multiple times to no avail. Everything else works fine. Both folders are in my path and I can call git from inside the source directory without using the path. I am following the wiki exactly so maybe I am missing something not documented there?

looks normal... the old numeric revision was removed a while back, because, you know, telling what revision you are on by reading a bunch of seemingly random numbers and letters is way easier than using a sequentially updated number...

[llars]

Wait so the revision info doesn't display anymore at all? And here I have been beating my head over this for two days now.

[Ncognito]

when i was in "Compiling the Source " step as the site goes it must be :

========== Build: 14 succeeded, 0 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========

but my try went to :

========== Build: 13 succeeded, 0 failed, 1 up-to-date, 1 skipped ==========

is there any problem? i cant find why. please answer

[leak]

@llars

Nope, it was removed.

@Ncognito

Reading and stuff.. "0 failed"

I`am not install msysgit but just git gui,so far it works well..that`s why? Is there something maybe happenning?

[Paradox]

I'm getting the same problem, git is completely unresponsive, re-installed 20 times, and when I click, nothing happens, not even an error window. Win 7 64bit.

[Subv]

You can also use TortoiseGIT, it integrates with Windows 7 x64 quite nicely (and yes, it comes with msysgit as default cli)

hi, all

I was troubled by the rev.0 for a long time.

I have done according to the all above approach, but still rev.0!

any ideas? plz help.

BTW: I use XP 32bit.

disagree, c:/Program Files/Git/cmd/git.cmd is OK.

[Zaranthos]

I just followed the wiki a week ago and everything worked fine for me. Pay attention to the installation option questions when installing since you'll want context menus and path stuff added during the install(s). The wiki does a good job of explaining it in detail but in the event an updated installer changes and doesn't have the same options either use common sense (not click click click done) or keep notes on what options you did or didn't enable during your install process so you can ask detailed questions here if you have problems.
