Hello list.

I'm trying to get CalendarServer working on freebsd as the sf.net page says that it builds and runs here. The sf.net page points towards the bug tracker
and I don't see any bugs listed there, but it needs coaxing to build
pykerberos and pysqlite. After getting it built, it fails to start up. I'm mostly wondering if anyone has it running on FreeBSD and could give some tips before I sink a lot of time into trying to get it up and running. No need to reinvent the wheel, I figure, but if the wheel isn't invented yet...Anyhow,
thanks for any help you can provide,

I've got it working on two FreeBSD 6.2-R boxes not so long ago.

Install the following ports:

/usr/ports/textproc/py-xml
/usr/ports/security/py-openssl
/usr/ports/devel/py-dateutil
/usr/ports/security/krb5
/usr/ports/databases/py-sqlite3/
/usr/ports/lang/python24/
/usr/ports/databases/py-pysqlite20/

The build will look for gssapi.h in /usr/include/gssapi. Kerberos installs this to /usr/local/include/gssapi, so I just did a symlink.

# cd /usr/include
# ln -s /usr/local/include/gssapi .

Check out the trunk with SVN:

# cd /usr/ports/devel/subversion/
# make -DWITH_MOD_DAV_SVN install

(or ensure that svn --version tells you that you got the ra_dav module enabled).

# svn checkout http://svn.macosforge.org/repository/calendarserver/ CalendarServer/trunk CalendarServer
# cd CalendarServer
# ./run

Aha. This will probably fail. Change the path (first line) for bash from /bin/bash to /usr/local/bin/bash

Now try it again:

# ./run

This will download and build the other dependencies like pyOpenSSL, PyKerberos, vobject, xattr, etc.

# ./run

Will complain about a missing configuration file:

# cp  conf/caldavd-test.plist conf/caldavd-dev.plist

# ./run

Fails again, this time with something like: "bin/caldavd: 47: Syntax error: Bad substitution"

# vim ./bin/caldavd

Modify the try_python () function to look like:

==

try_python ()
{
  local python="$1"; shift

  if [ -z "${python}" ]; then return 1; fi;

  if ! type "${python}" > /dev/null 2>&1; then return 1; fi;
  local py_version="24";
  #local py_version="$(py_version "${python}")";
  if [ "24" -lt "24" ]; then return 1; fi;
  #if [ "${py_version/./}" -lt "24" ]; then return 1; fi;

  return 0;
}

==

Not neat at all, but it did the trick. I hope you use Python 2.4 (but as I mentioned it earlier, install it).

# ./run

It should start up now.

(Oh, by default it will start the server to listen on 127.0.0.1, to change it edit conf/caldavd-dev.plist and look for the BindAddress section and change it).

If you run into any problems, let me know and I'll try take a look.

Cheers,
Jaco
