992754 - GAIA couldn't compile without correct preference of git

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 590921

(Firefox Build System :: MozillaBuild, task)

Description

[Maksim Lebedev]

Attachment: output.log

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.2; WOW64; rv:26.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/26.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20131205075310

Steps to reproduce:

I have SmartGit client.
I download source of GAIA from github via SmartGit.
I run mozilla-build and run "DESKTOP_SHIMS=1 NOFTU=1 DEBUG=1 make"


Actual results:

Throw many steps compilation process fails with error "git: command not found".
I add path to git to system %PATH%, but it not helps to resolve this issue.


Expected results:

I think mozilla-build should have to include git client or should have correct check path to another git client in system.
For example, mozilla-build check correct work of command "git" and if it works then set internal param GIT_PATH to "".
Otherways check system variable %GITPATH% and checks work of command "GITPATHgit", if it works then set internal GIT_PATH as %GITPATH%.
Otherways says that "please set correct way to system %GITPATH%.
And after than all command run as "GIT_PATHgit" and user can see error and previous message with check of git path.
