Rsync Install

[Kirby_2]

I am trying to find a binary package available to install rsync on a Tru64 v5.1B server. I have checked on the Open Source Sources CD included with the install and this program is not available on that CD. Does anyone know where I could download this binary package from?

Why not get the latest source kit and build
it yourself?

Works better if you use GCC (or a
non-intuitive "make" command). (Lame
builders.) A minor mod to one of the header
files helps, too. Wake me if you're
interested in the details.

I didn't try anything more stressful than:

urtx# rsync -v
rsync version 3.0.5 protocol version 30

Hello Steven-

"A minor mod to one of the header

What was the minor mod you made to the header file to get this compiled with GCC?

Thanks-
Mark

I think i found the change. Can you confirm this Steven please.

CFLAGS=-g -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I./popt -Wno-unused-parameter

to :

CFLAGS=-g -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I./popt

This seems to compile successfully. Was this the only change you made?

> CFLAGS=-g -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I./popt

My notes say that I actually did this:

urtx# CC=cc ./configure
[...]
urtx# CFLAGS='-g -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I./popt' gmake -e

which looks equivalent (but without the
editing). Now that I think about it, this
should do the same thing without the "-e":

gmake CFLAGS='-g -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I./popt'

The complaints I got from GCC looked like:

gcc -std=gnu99 -I. -I. -g -O2 -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -Wall -W -I./popt -Wno-unused-parameter -c popt/findme.c -o popt/findme.o
popt/findme.c: In function 'findProgramPath':
popt/findme.c:28: warning: implicit declaration of function 'alloca'
popt/findme.c:28: warning: incompatible implicit declaration of built-in function 'alloca'

So I did this:

urtx# gdiff popt/system.h_orig popt/system.h
89a90,91
> #elif defined( HAVE_ALLOCA_H)
> # include

I seem to have made that change before I
made it work with Compaq C, so I don't know
if it would still be needed, but on a system
with a 32-bit "int" and 64-bit pointers, you
don't want any implicit "int" declarations on
a memory allocation function.

I still haven't really tested it, but what
could go wrong?
