Hi, I had a few problems compiling xfsprogs.
First of all, I'm used to compile various programs
as bld user, then installing with a "sudo make install"
But this time, after the previous command I have
find that all the files installed had the ownership
of the bld user.
(This seems strange to me, but can I ask if this is wanted?)
In fact in aclocal.m4 we have:
pkg_user=`id -u`
test -z "$INSTALL_USER" || pkg_user="$INSTALL_USER"
AC_SUBST(pkg_user)
pkg_group=`id -g`
test -z "$INSTALL_GROUP" || pkg_group="$INSTALL_GROUP"
AC_SUBST(pkg_group)
and the same in configure:
pkg_user=`id -u`
test -z "$INSTALL_USER" || pkg_user="$INSTALL_USER"
pkg_group=`id -g`
test -z "$INSTALL_GROUP" || pkg_group="$INSTALL_GROUP"
so if we run configure (and in this case the configure
command is inside the main Makefile) like a non-root user
we will have in pkg_user and in INSTALL_USER the id of this
non-root user and the package will be installed with this id.
This seems to be a workaround for this problem:
export INSTALL_USER=root
export INSTALL_GROUP=root
sed -i '/autoconf/d' Makefile
make DEBUG=-DNDEBUG
(...)
unset INSTALL_USER INSTALL_GROUP
About the various libhandle links, they can be
installed also running:
make install-dev
the target is defined in the main Makefile and is used
to install the libhandle symlinks plus other files.
For example in /usr/lib:
libdisk.a libhandle.la libxcmd.a libxlog.a
libhandle.a libhandle.so libxfs.a
So, for a complete installation we should run as root:
make install
make install-dev
(unless is preferred to have only the libhandle symlinks)
Finally, the link for the package should be updated with:
http://mirrors.sunsite.dk/xfs/download/previous/cmd_tars/xfsprogs-2.7.11.src.tar.gz
and I've found similar problems installing the attr and
acl packages.
