Bacula

Has anyone managed to build Bacula on an HP-UX? I'm running version 11.11.

I read a document when looking into this software and as far as I am aware bacula is for Redhat, FreeBSD and solaris.

Yes, but in the documentation, they say that it has been used on HP-UX. So I'm looking for someone who has successfully built it on an HP-UX platform.

Hi,

I also had no success yet, but I assume someone with reasonable programming backgroup should be able to get it running quite fast. I think there's a few people using bacula on HP-UX and AIX, but they don't watch the mailinglists to closely :/

Well, they say that it can be run on HPUX:
"Bacula is said to work on other systems (AIX, BSDI, HPUX, ...) but we do not have first hand knowledge of these systems."

But there is so many things to install, that I guess you can go crazy installing all the packages it needs .... ;)

Bacula has little dependencies, most of them are optional.

It's advisable to have termcap, readline, openssl and zlib working. everything else is just added GUIs or mtx-related stuff You don't need. (ok, on a server You'll possibly need mtx and some database, but i.e. mysql is available precompiled.)

If You know anyone that is able to do the porting, I'll happily supply a system that meets all dependencies ;)

Hmm, it will be interesting doing it just for fun. System is not a problem, I have plenty of servers (from c200 to itanium superdomes), but a help from someone will be a very nice idea :)

Alex,

if You want to start on it, contact kern sibbald via the bacula-devel mailing list at sourceforge.

otherwise, the bacula manual is really extensive, I think they've documented every single database table they use ;)

for testing You can define a file device instead of a 'real' tape, but of course this is after making it compile. heh.

Just getting the client to run on HP-UX would be the single greatest thing for me.

I'll let you know if I had any luck compiling it on HPUX.

Alex,

watch out to use the --enable-smartprealloc (or something similar, I don't remember the exact name) option, and check that You have a termcap.h available.

Here are my (old) notes:

OK, thanx (tho it could help if I knew German) :)

Florian Heigl (new acc) — Mon, 02 May 2005 12:09:15 GMT

My bad, I translated it. :)

In the end, it's just a strange issue with readtime.h I couldn't grok.

Well, I've reached the end of my (rather limited) programming skills. I've gotten the libraries to compile, but I cannot get the client daemon to do so.

All I'm trying to compile is the client, since the server lives on a Linux box. Anybody who can actually get the file daemon to compile will have my eternal gratitude. :)

Here's the errors, if anyone's interested. I'm using gcc to compile:

What version of gcc do you have?

gcc -v

Re: Bacula

Scott Sprague_4 — Wed, 04 May 2005 16:07:00 GMT

3.4.3. Just installed it last week.

Do you have all the patches for pthread library? Search in that link by keyword "pthread".

Re: Bacula

Scott Sprague_4 — Wed, 04 May 2005 16:58:42 GMT

Yes, I believe so. PHCO_30544 is installed on the machine.

Scott, this sounds like gcc tried to compile PA-8000+ code and You (just like me) run a 32bit system.

Re: Bacula

Scott Sprague_4 — Thu, 05 May 2005 19:24:28 GMT

That sounds like a problem. Is there a way to force it to do 32 bit?

Re: Bacula

Florian Heigl (new acc) — Fri, 06 May 2005 08:05:09 GMT

Sure, just don't ask me ;)

at first, configure is guessing the host type, this should be noted in config.log and should read something like hp-hppa11-hpux, but I'd say it doesn't. second, there's a gcc flag for that, on irix I know people set a '-n64 or -n32', but I think we'll have for someone to verify our guesses.
