Homebrew has a formula for git-annex.
Homebrew users can simply run brew install git-annex
to install git-annex.
buiding git-annex from sources
This is the old recipe for building git-annex from source, using packages from homebrew. Useful if you want a newer version than the version in homebrew.
brew install haskell-platform git ossp-uuid md5sha1sum coreutils gnutls libidn gsasl pkg-config libxml2 brew link libxml2 --force cabal update mkdir $HOME/bin PATH=$HOME/bin:$PATH PATH=$HOME/.cabal/bin:$PATH cabal install c2hs --bindir=$HOME/bin cabal install gnuidn cabal install git-annex --bindir=$HOME/bin
When I run the following command: cabal install c2hs --bindir=$HOME/bin
I get the following error:
Error: some packages failed to install: c2hs-0.28.1 depends on language-c-0.5.0 which failed to install. language-c-0.5.0 failed during the configure step. The exception was: ExitFailure 1
