Compile git on iPad

Having gcc up and running on an iPad, you should make a symbolic link so that cc points to gcc in /usr/bin (ln /usr/bin/gcc /usr/bin/cc) .

Download and extract the latest source from gitHub

curl –O -k https://nodeload.github.com/git/git/tarball/master

tar xvf master

Build by issuing the following command in the extracted source dir (which I renamed to git):

make NO_PERL=1 NO_TCLTK=1 NO_GETTEXT=1

Sign the app:

ldid –S git

And you are ready to use git to clone the webinos repository  

iPad:~/git root# ./git clone git://github.com/webinos/Webinos-Platform.git ../webinos
