Cannot use git

Postby Belbear » 01 Apr 2010 11:26

Hi,

I'm totally new here, hoping this forum is acceptable for my problem
I started trying to get vlc built using an MSYS/MinGW setup on Win XP, following the Win32CompileMSYSNew wiki.

I also have installed msysgit and tortoisegit to get vlc sources, but it cannot get anything.

The git:// protocol is barred for me by company firewall (port 9418 is closed), so I tried the http method

With http://git.videolan.org/git/vlc.git as source path I got the following error:
fatal: http://git.videolan.org/git/vlc.git/info/refs not found: did you run git update-server-info on the server?

Can anyone help me with the path or git settings?
