Default Git for OpenBSD on a DEC VAX?

I am trying to find a binary install of Git for OpenBSD v5.2 running on a DEC VaxStation 4000 Model 90? My particular machine has a staggering 32 megs of RAM but does run GCC version 2.9.5 and Perl 5 version 12 so I suspect I probably can run Git.

Is anybody aware of a Git binary (any version) for the VAX architecture or should I try to compile from source? There is no binary for Git on the OpenBSD packages repository. I have had difficulty compiling Git on NetBSD on x86 in the past so I am expecting even more issues compiling it on a VAX (albeit now on OpenBSD).

You could try to get it working by copying the using the git port from i386 or amd64 or whatever architecture is close to that of your VAX.

Hello and welcome!

The devel/git port does not have an architecture restriction. But it will not build on Vax if any of its build-dependencies are not available on the platform.
Note that there is a separate list of run-dependencies that may also have architecture restrictions. This is not related to your particular problem, but if you download or build a package which you can not install, this might be the reason.
You can dig through the port Makefiles manually, or just attempt a build. The error messages will explain why devel/git cannot be built on the Vax architecture.

If you are unfamiliar with building packages from ports, FAQ 15 is where to go to get started.
