Hi Stephen, This is deliberately so. Git installs its own complete msys environment which is incompatible with our build system. So we must ensure nothing of the git environment is in the standard path while running our build scripts. For this reason I usually have two msys windows open on my windows test system, one regular msys shell from the gnucash build environment and a second one specifically for git. This second one can be opened from the Windows Explorer: - vi Windows Explorerer navigate to c:\gcdev - right-click on gnucash-on-windows.git and from the context menu you can select "Git Bash shell" This will open another msys shell but from the git installation. In this shell you can run git commands without the full path. You can recognize this shell because it adds the checked out branch in the prompt. While writing this, it occurs to me that you could also set up an alias for git in our own msys shell so the full path is no longer required. I haven't tried this myself yet.
