2 As you will note, I don't follow the standard GNU release
3 numbering conventions, but rather one that I started in
4 1970. My internal releases were 0.nn, the first release to
5 another user was 1.0, each modified source code release then
6 gets a new minor release (1.1, 1.2, ...) as well as a date. Each
7 major change in the software -- e.g. new tape format will
8 normally have the major release number incremented.
10 Your best bet for getting Bacula up and running is to read
11 the manual, which can be found in
12 <bacula-main-directory>/doc/html-manual, or in
13 <bacula-main-directory>/doc/bacula.pdf.
15 Barring reading the manual, you might try the
21 --sbindir=$HOME/bacula/bin \
22 --sysconfdir=$HOME/bacula/bin \
23 --with-pid-dir=$HOME/bacula/bin \
24 --with-subsys-dir=$HOME/bacula/bin \
25 --with-sqlite=$HOME/depkgs/sqlite \
27 --with-mysql=$HOME/mysql \
28 --with-working-dir=$HOME/bacula/bin/working \
29 --with-dump-email=YOUR_EMAIL_ADDRESS \
30 --with-job-email=YOUR_EMAIL_ADDRESS \
31 --with-smtp-host=YOUR_SMTP_SERVER_ADDRESS
33 Note, if you do not have readline installed on your
34 system, you either need to add:
40 --with-readline=$HOME/bacula/depkgs1/readline
42 where I assume you have loaded depkgs1 into $HOME/bacula
43 and built the readline routine.
45 If you want to use SQLite, please download depkgs and
46 build sqlite, then add something like:
48 --with-sqlite=$HOME/depkgs/sqlite
55 If you are doing a port, there should be no errors. The most
56 likely source of errors will probably come in the src/stored
57 directory in time.c or dev.c. There may also be problems in
58 lib/signal.c as I currently pull in all Linux signals, some of
59 which may not be available on your system.
61 To create the database:
63 src/cats/make_bacula_tables
74 To start it (as a developer). This is not appropriate if you
75 are installing Bacula.
78 ./console (or ./gnome-console)
84 Well, it is all just a bit more complicated than that,
85 but you should have the idea.
87 Be sure you read the chapter about testing your tape drive!
88 Don't waste a lot of time setting up and running Bacula, if
89 your drive is not supported.
91 FreeBSD users, pay special attention to the Device configuration
92 parameters needed to deal with FreeBSD tape drivers.
