## You can do it this way:
# make prefix=/usr all doc info
# make prefix=/usr install install-doc install-html install-info
## or with autoconf:

# If there's no configure script, create it:
make configure

# My OpenSSL is installed in the standard source-installed location:
# /usr/local/ssl.  If yours was installed with a package (into /usr/bin,
# /usr/lib, etc.), you can probably leave off all of the "ssl" parts below
# and just run "./configure" and "make".
#
# If you have libiconv installed, you may also need to pass NEEDS_LIBICONV=1
# to make.
LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/ssl/lib CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/ssl/include \
./configure --with-openssl=/usr/local/ssl
make

# Become root to install it
su

# Remove the Slackware package
test -x /sbin/removepkg && /sbin/removepkg git

# Install Git
# (If you used NEEDS_LIBICONV=1 above, you'll need it here too)
make install

# Rather than using asciidoc/xmlto to build documentation (make doc ; make
# install-doc), you can install the pre-formatted docs instead.
