Howdy,
Now that I got AMANDA working with my Exabyte 220 and Solaris8, I'm moving
it to our production side to actually implement it.
But, there's a slight hitch which I'm not sure how to get around.
The production tape server machine is running Solaris2.6 and doesn't have
all of the marbles necessary (well it's missing lex at least) to configure
the Makefile. At this point, installing lex on the 2.6 box isn't an
option.
I was told to just compile it on another machine (Solaris8) and then move
the files over to the 2.6 box.
I'm basically just a 'vanilla' compiler. I haven't done in-depth
compiling to know what it is I have to move over to the new machine (and
if it'll even work between the two versions of Solaris). I need help on
this one. :)
My configure line looks like this:
./configure --with-user=amanda --with-group=backup --with-config=dailies
--host=sparc-sun-solaris2 --prefix=/usr/share/src/amanda-2.4.2p2/taipei
--exec-prefix=/usr/share/src/amanda-2.4.2p2/taipei
I used the prefix options to try to corral the files into one place, but
I'm not sure if any files go elsewhere and my brain fries at about that
point.
Also, I know I have to 'make' as the amanda user, but I'm supposed to
'make install' as root because of some various files and stuff. If that's
the case shouldn't I be 'make'ing on the 2.6 box (named taipei) instead?
oof.
Help! (blub..blub..)
Chris :)
