Greetings,
For anyone interested, I located the problem within the configure file.
The command
./configure.modified --prefix=/ --sysconfdir=/ --with-config-file=aide.conf
should build aide to have all its file in ~/, but it does not.
From memory, the above example was producing the error: file://aide.db
not found or was looking for it in /etc.
At line 9041 in configure the code is:
if test "x$sysconfdir" != x'${prefix}/etc'; then
evalled_sysconfdir=`eval echo "$sysconfdir"`
default_db="$evalled_sysconfdir/aide.db"
default_db_out="$evalled_sysconfdir/aide.db.new"
elif test "x$prefix" != xNONE; then
default_db="$prefix/etc/aide.db"
default_db_out="$prefix/etc/aide.db.new"
else
default_db="$ac_default_prefix/etc/aide.db"
default_db_out="$ac_default_prefix/etc/aide.db.new"
fi
I am not a C programmer, so this looks alien to me (Pascal, Basic, and
Fortran are my skills.)
As written, something is not escaped right and it ends up looking for //
or /etc rather than just /
To make it work for me (all files in the same directory), I mangled the
code like this:
if test "x$sysconfdir" != x'${prefix}/etc'; then
evalled_sysconfdir=`eval echo "$sysconfdir"`
default_db="aide.db"
default_db_out="aide.db.new"
elif test "x$prefix" != xNONE; then
default_db="aide.db"
default_db_out="aide.db.new"
else
default_db="aide.db"
default_db_out="aide.db.new"
fi
In this case, no matter what is passed with a variable, it gives the
results I need.
Can some one take a look and let me know the correct way to code this?
Thanks,
Cheers!
