An error occurred while Installing Git on CentOS and compiling and Installing git.

Compile the basic environment

The code is as follows:	Copy code
Yum-y install gcc make

 
Make sure that the dependent package is installed.

The code is as follows:	Copy code
Yum install-y curl-devel zlib-devel openssl-devel perl-devel cpio expat-devel gettext-devel

 
Download the latest git package

The code is as follows:	Copy code
Wget http://www.codemonkey.org.uk/projects/git-snapshots/git/git-latest.tar.gz Tar xzvf git-latest.tar.gz Cd git-2012-07-05 # Your directory may not be this Autoconf ./Configure Make & make install

 
Check the installed version.

The code is as follows:	Copy code
[Root @ cobbler git-2012-07-05] # git -- version Git version 1.7.11.GIT

 
 
Error message during compilation and solution:

I searched for some items on the internet and found that the machine time settings were incorrect based on the error warning .. The system time is earlier than the version time. Therefore, you need to reset the system time.
 
I use centos6 becauseIn CentOS6, the yum source already has the git version. You can directly use the yum source for installation.

The code is as follows:	Copy code
Yum-y install git

The current git version in yum is as follows:

The code is as follows:	Copy code
[Root @ cobbler ~] # Git -- version Git version 1.7.1

I encountered a small problem during compilation and installation of git. I will post it for your reference.

1. Download the git version

The code is as follows:	Copy code
Wget http://git-core.googlecode.com/files/git-1.7.10.1.tar.gz Wget http://git-core.googlecode.com/files/git-manpages-1.7.10.1.tar.gz

2. The following error is reported during git compilation by make:
Make [1]: Warning: File 'makefile' has modification time 2.5e + 07 s in the future
/Usr/bin/perl Makefile. pl prefix = '/usr/local'
Writing perl. mak for Git

I searched the internet and found the machine time setting problem based on the error warning. I fixed the problem by resetting the machine time:

The code is as follows:	Copy code
Ntpdate time.nist.gov

3. After installation, the following error is reported if you want to use online help:

The code is as follows:	Copy code
[Root @ test ~] # Man git No manual entry for git

Decompress git-manpages-1.7.10.1.tar.gz to the/usr/share/man Directory. This package is compiled, not the source code installation package.

The code is as follows:	Copy code
Tar zxf git-manpages-1.7.10.1.tar.gz-C/usr/share/man

In this way, you can use man git.
