Its not, that my build script I wrote in self defense tears ago so that I
didn't have to remember all the options to pass to config.
Here that script is:
--------------------
#!/bin/sh
# since I'm always forgetting to su amanda...
if [ `whoami` != 'amanda' ]; then
echo
echo "!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Warning !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
echo "Amanda needs to be configured and built by the"
echo "user amanda, but must be installed by user root."
echo
exit 1
fi
make clean
rm -f config.status config.cache
./configure --with-user=amanda \
--with-group=disk \
--with-owner=amanda \
--with-gnu-ld \
--prefix=/usr/local/ \
--with-debugging=/tmp/amanda-dbg/ \
--with-tape-server=coyote \
--with-bsdtcp-security --with-amandahosts \
--with-configdir=/usr/local/etc/amanda \
--enable-manpage-build \
--with-readline \
--with-gnutar=/bin/tar \
--with-security-file=/etc/amanda-security.conf
echo "sleeping for reading configures warnings"
echo "a make as amanda will continue after 75 seconds..."
sleep 75
make
-------------------
Nothing unusual there except consistent build options. coyote is the
hosts file alias for this machine.
