-This is the first release of Bacula, and as such it
-is perhaps a bit rough around the edges. 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, ...) as well as
-a date. Each major change in the software -- e.g. new
-tape format will 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.
Barring reading the manual, you might try the
following:
-CFLAGS="-g -Wall" \
+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=$HOME/bacula/bin/working \
--with-dump-email=YOUR_EMAIL_ADDRESS \
--with-job-email=YOUR_EMAIL_ADDRESS \
- --with-smtp-host=YOUR_SMTP_SERVER_ADDRESS \
- --with-baseport=9101
+ --with-smtp-host=YOUR_SMTP_SERVER_ADDRESS
+
+Note, if you do not have readline installed on your
+system, you either need to add:
+
+ --disable-readline
+
+or add:
+
+ --with-readline=$HOME/bacula/depkgs1/readline
+
+where I assume you have loaded depkgs1 into $HOME/bacula
+and built the readline routine.
+If you want to use SQLite, please download depkgs and
+build sqlite, then add something like:
-Build Bacula
+ --with-sqlite=$HOME/depkgs/sqlite
+
+
+Build Bacula:
make
- There should be no errors. The most likely source of
- errors will probably come in the src/stored directory
- in time.c or dev.c. There may also be problems in
- lib/signal.c as I currently pull in all Linux signals,
- some of which may not be available on your system.

+To create the database:

+
+To install:
+
+ make install
+
+To start it:
+
+ cd $HOME/bacula/bin
+ ./bacula start
+
+To start it (as a developer). This is not appropriate if you
+are installing Bacula.
+
+ ./startit
+ ./console (or ./gnome-console)
+
+To stop it:
+
+ ./stopit
+
+Well, it is all just a bit more complicated than that,
+but you should have the idea.
+
+Be sure you read the chapter about testing your tape drive!
+Don't waste a lot of time setting up and running Bacula, if
+your drive is not supported.
+
+FreeBSD users, pay special attention to the Device configuration
+parameters needed to deal with FreeBSD tape drivers.
