LOL! I do not want to build everything from source! I’m just following the
documentation as I’ve been able to find it. You suggested a script which
installs on Debian-based systems so I’m trying to follow those steps on CentOS.
I’ve been running V 3.3.1 from EPEL for a couple years and am ready to move to
4.x. If there is a way to install it without building it from scratch I am all
ears! I must have missed the memo!

Mike,
First, I would strongly recommend using the rsync-bpc 3.0.9 branch. The head
is based on rsync 3.1.2 but it hasn't seen as much testing and hasn't been
released. You should do a "git checkout 3.0.9" before running ./configure, eg:
git clone https://github.com/backuppc/rsync-bpc.git
cd rsync-bpc
git checkout 3.0.9
./configure
make
Second, why do you actually want to build everything from source?
I don't have access to a Centos 7 box to test building. However, I suspect
you'll need to install a libacl-devel package (or similar) to get the C headers
etc. Many linux libraries have two packages - the runtime library, and another
(generally with "devel" in the name) for compiling and linking code.

Thanks for the reply. I’m building on CentOS7 so the example is partly useful
but there are several changes. Here are some basic steps in case someone else
attempts this:
yum install git build-essential perl-devel perl-CPAN perl-CGI gcc httpd mod_ssl
glusterfs-client
cpan [accept all defaults]
install Test::More
quit
reboot (might not be necessary)
git clone https://github.com/backuppc/backuppc.git
git clone https://github.com/backuppc/backuppc-xs.git
git clone https://github.com/backuppc/rsync-bpc.git
cd backuppc-xs/
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install
cd ../rsync-bpc
./configure
make
…and this is where it fails with:
lib/sysacls.c:2761:2: error: #error No ACL functions defined for this platform!
#error No ACL functions defined for this platform!
^
make: *** [lib/sysacls.o] Error 1
I’m not sure if this is helpful but acl’s (Access Control Lists) are supported
on this system:
[Cent-7:root@hostname rsync-bpc]# yum install acl
Package acl-2.2.51-14.el7.x86_64 already installed and latest version
Nothing to do
[Cent-7:root@hostname rsync-bpc]# cat /boot/config-3.10.0-862.9.1.el7.x86_64 |
grep _ACL
CONFIG_EXT4_FS_POSIX_ACL=y
CONFIG_XFS_POSIX_ACL=y
CONFIG_BTRFS_FS_POSIX_ACL=y
CONFIG_FS_POSIX_ACL=y
CONFIG_GENERIC_ACL=y
CONFIG_TMPFS_POSIX_ACL=y
CONFIG_NFS_V3_ACL=y
CONFIG_NFSD_V2_ACL=y
CONFIG_NFSD_V3_ACL=y
CONFIG_NFS_ACL_SUPPORT=m
CONFIG_CEPH_FS_POSIX_ACL=y
CONFIG_CIFS_ACL=y
Am I making a mistake in installing the current version? Perhaps I’d have
better results installing the version identified in the Debian-based script?
Thank you!

Mike,
You have to build and install backuppc-xs first. Also, makeDist needs a
--version argument.
The wiki has an example
script<https://github.com/backuppc/backuppc/wiki/Installing-BackupPC-4-from-git-on-Ubuntu-Xenial-16.04-LTS>
for building from git.

I am new to git-based installations and need some help. I cloned the three

You need to run makeDist first to create a tarball release that includes an
updated configure.pl<http://configure.pl>. After you unpack the tarball, run
configure.pl<http://configure.pl> from
there.
Not sure why I’d need to generate a tarball but when I run makeDist I get:
