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
+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
-have the major release number incremented.
+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
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 $HOME/bacula
+and built the readline routine.
+
+If you want to use SQLite, please download depkgs and
+build sqlite, then add something like:
+ --with-sqlite=$HOME/depkgs/sqlite

- lib/signal.c as I currently pull in all Linux signals,
- some of which may not be available on your system.

+
+Well, it is all just a bit more complicated than that,

+
+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.
