running git from non-standard location on Mac

2013-02-21 Thread James French
Hi,

I wonder if someone could help me. I installed git on a Mac and then I copied 
the install somewhere else (which I do want to do, trust me).  I'm now having 
trouble with git svn. I'm getting Can't locate Git/SVN.pm in @INC...

I've added the bin folder to PATH. What else do I need to do? Do I need to use 
-exec-path=/MyPathToGit/libexec/git-core? How do I change the content of @INC?

Apologies if this is a dumb question, I'm not much of a unix man.

Cheers,
James

`git svn` is implemented in Perl (which is supposedly bundled with your Git 
package, but I'm not sure), and SVN.pm is a Perl module (a library written in 
Perl, .pm stands for Perl Module).

@INC is an internal variable used by Perl to locate its modules.
Its contents is partially inferred from the Perl's installation location and 
partially from the environment.

This [1] should help you get started with affecting @INC.

Thanks for the help guys. I got it working using --exec-path and PERL5LIB 
environment variable. But Matthieu is right, I should build it from source to 
do it properly.
