For example if git was (or is) installed with /usr prefix, you can do
$ make prefix=/usr gitweb ;# as yourself
- # cp gitweb/git* /var/www/cgi-bin/ ;# as root
+ # cp gitweb/*.cgi gitweb/*.css \
+ gitweb/*.js gitweb/*.png \
+ /var/www/cgi-bin/ ;# as root
Alternatively you can use autoconf generated ./configure script to
set up path to git binaries (via config.mak.autogen), so you can write
$ make configure ;# as yourself
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr ;# as yourself
$ make gitweb ;# as yourself
- # cp gitweb/git* /var/www/cgi-bin/ ;# as root
+ # cp gitweb/*.cgi gitweb/*.css \
+ gitweb/*.js gitweb/*.png \
+ /var/www/cgi-bin/ ;# as root
The above example assumes that your web server is configured to run
[executable] files in /var/www/cgi-bin/ as server scripts (as CGI
