Well... You're right, I got the actual state of the Sourceforge project and did not
touch to anything to the sources. Everything goes well.
For your bugs :
1. selfcheck bug is not a bug, it's just that selfcheck is not provided in the Win32
version. If you are suck with the amcheck errors, do the same thing as me :
"selfcheck.c : int main() {return 0;}", and if you are lazy compiling such a thing,
I've attached it here.
2. sendsize crash ? Well... Er... Er... Er... Where ??? I've had some problems with
sendsize, but it corrected itself with the "-udp=10080 -no-exit" parameters to the
amandad.exe program. I did not examine precisely the source code but the "-no-exit"
seems to be very important...
What I've done with this project? Well... Just got it from Sourceforge and installed
it on W2K boxes: what I've done is installed it as a WinNT service. I am running it
with an Amanda 2.4.3b2 server on a Linux box, and no errors reported yet (1,5 Go
backed up every night). Not checked with omre recent versions.
