-As you will note, I don't follow the standard GNU release
-numbering conventions, but rather one that I started in
-1970. My internal releases were 0.nn, the first release to
-another user was 1.0, each modified source code release then
-gets a new minor release (1.1, 1.2, ...) as well as a date. Each
-major change in the software -- e.g. new tape format will
-normally have the major release number incremented.

-Your best bet for getting Bacula up and running is to read
-the manual, which can be found in
-<bacula-main-directory>/doc/html-manual, or in
-<bacula-main-directory>/doc/bacula.pdf.
+Your best bet to get Bacula compiled and running is
+to read the online manual at:
+ http://www.bacula.org
+
+You will save yourself a lot of pain if you read
+the manual -- it is online at the above site.
Barring reading the manual, you might try the
following:
To Configure it:
- ./configure \
- --sbindir=$HOME/bacula/bin \
- --sysconfdir=$HOME/bacula/bin \
- --with-pid-dir=$HOME/bacula/bin \
- --with-subsys-dir=$HOME/bacula/bin \
- --with-sqlite=$HOME/depkgs/sqlite \
- --enable-gnome \
- --with-mysql=$HOME/mysql \
- --with-working-dir=$HOME/bacula/bin/working \
- --with-dump-email=YOUR_EMAIL_ADDRESS \
- --with-job-email=YOUR_EMAIL_ADDRESS \
- --with-smtp-host=YOUR_SMTP_SERVER_ADDRESS
-
-Note, if you do not have readline installed on your
-system, you either need to add:
-
- --disable-readline
-
-or add:
-
- --with-readline=$HOME/bacula/depkgs1/readline
-
-where I assume you have loaded depkgs1 into $HOME/bacula
-and built the readline routine.
-
-If you want to use SQLite, please download depkgs and
-build sqlite, then add something like:
-
- --with-sqlite=$HOME/depkgs/sqlite
+ CFLAGS="-g -O2" \
+ ./configure \
+ --sbindir=$HOME/bacula/bin \
+ --sysconfdir=$HOME/bacula/bin \
+ --with-pid-dir=$HOME/bacula/bin/working \
+ --with-subsys-dir=$HOME/bacula/bin/working \
+ --enable-smartalloc \
+ --with-mysql \
+ --with-working-dir=$HOME/bacula/bin/working \
+ --with-dump-email=your@address.com \
+ --with-job-email=your@address.com \
+ --with-smtp-host=localhost
