Hi List, I finally have a first alpha release of BIA. There are still lots of little things that need to be added or improved. I am still trying to figure out how to get out of the whole RPATH mess. Any tips on how to build Tcl and AOLserver without any embedded RPATHs (and without patching the Makefile if possible) are greatyl appreciated.
Now for the fun stuff. If you want to build the install script from scratch, grab the following tarball: http://kimberly.tako.de/bia/bia-build.tar.gz (10k) It includes a README on how to use the scripts. In short you'll need to run the following command: cd bia-build && \ tclsh mk-bia.tcl /tmp/bia && \ make -C /tmp/bia bundle That should leave you with a file named bia-uname -sm | sed -e 's/ /-/'.sh in /tmp/bia. This is the actual installer. It needs to be run as root since it creates directories and possibly users on your system. All this is only tested on Linux atm and is know _not_ to work on Solaris due to some link issues with OpenSSL. If all you want is the installer, grab this: http://kimberly.tako.de/bia/bia-Linux-i686.sh.bz2 (5.4M) Just bunzip2 the file and run it. It should be self explanatory (I hope). I generated this using the above mentioned script on my laptop running Ubuntu with gcc 3.4 and glibc 2.3. I hope that works for most of you. There's a preliminary config tool in the bin/ subdirectory of a BIA installation named config-bia.tcl. It is far from complete and is subject to change dramatically in the near future. Any feedback is welcome. I'd be especially interested if this builds on anything but Linux/x86. -- Olaff -- AOLserver - http://www.aolserver.com/ To Remove yourself from this list, simply send an email to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> with the body of "SIGNOFF AOLSERVER" in the email message.
