Can't build against git repo

[robe]

strk was kind enough to setup a git winnie branch on github/postgis --

but sadly this does not work for me.

  Something went wrong, giving up!

My guess is that git is switching to native mode and configure script gets all mangled under windows with the windows line breaks. similar to what this person describes.

I suspect that is also why I can't build postgresql from git repo (can only build from the generated tar balls).

Anyway have to figure out how to force specific unix line breaks via git as we currently can do with SVN, otherwise this is a pretty much a non-starter for me working on a git repo.

Try the git config commands described here ? ​https://help.github.com/articles/dealing-with-line-endings/

Even better: .gitattributes See ​http://git-scm.com/docs/gitattributes#_checking-out_and_checking-in
