Hi Neil!
I'm having problems compiling 1.1.6 on FreeBSD6.2. This is my first fsvs
install, so I need a little help.
No problem.
Here's the configure output (btw, running make as instructed in the
README didn't work):
neo% env LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib" ./configure
as_func_failure succeeded.
as_func_failure succeeded.
No shell found that supports shell functions.
Please tell [EMAIL PROTECTED] about your system,
including any error possibly output before this
message
Hmmm ... I'm just a user of autoconf, too. It doesn't find a shell?
configure: *** Now configuring FSVS fsvs-1.1.6:900 ***

In order to correctly backup/restore devices FSVS has to know how to split
the device number into the major/minor part.
If you never need to move your committed devices to another operating
system, you can ignore that, I think.
(But please try restoring devices, eg. via "fsvs export", to make sure
that this works!)
Or do you know the FreeBSD header file with definitions for MAJOR(),
MINOR() and MAKEDEV()?
For some reason it can't find my APR libraries (and possible more). I
needed the LDFLAGS so it could find PCRE. All of my APR libraries are in
/usr/local/lib:
...
neo% pkg_info | grep apr
apr-db42-1.2.7_1 The Apache Group's Portability Library
Unfortunately I don't know a whole lot about autoconf so I'm stuck on
this one. I've also attached my config.log if that helps.
I just copied/pasted that together myself, and don't really know what I'm
doing, too ;-)
Please try changing the CFLAGS and LDFLAGS in the generated "Makefile";
you should be able to make it find the libraries.
Did you install other software, which uses autoconf, but works? I ask so
that I can take a look at their "configure.in"s.
HTH!

Phil
I'm confused why autoconf can't find a shell either. I run zsh, but also
tried sh and csh with the same results. I know that configure works fine
for software "packaged" in the FreeBSD ports system. For example, see
http://www.freshports.org/devel/subversion/ which depends on
http://www.freshports.org/devel/apr-svn/ (the svn version of apr). It
looks like subversion does a fair amount of work trying to detect APR,
http://svn.collab.net/viewvc/svn/trunk/build/ac-macros/find_apr.m4?revision=11299&view=markup,
but I don't know how hard it is to get it into fsvs (or if it's even
applicable).
I can't compile because every time I run GNU make it reconfigures fsvs
which is generating an error.
I don't care about supporting devices, but after some googling I think
that MAKEDEV is depreciated in FreeBSD (Assuming that I understand
MAKEDEV). They use devfs instead which sounds like it has a completely
different implementation.
(http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/basics-devices.html).
Cheers,
Neil
