36d8d1a6 | 1 | To build and install rsync: |
26c08b6c MP |
2 | |
3 | $ ./configure | |
4 | $ make | |
5 | # make install | |
6 | ||
7 | You may set the installation directory and other parameters by options | |
8 | to ./configure. To see them, use: | |
9 | ||
10 | $ ./configure --help | |

12 | Configure tries to figure out if the local system uses group "nobody" or |
13 | "nogroup" by looking in the /etc/group file. (This is only used for the | |
14 | default group of an rsync daemon, which attempts to run with "nobody" | |
15 | user and group permissions.) You can change the default user and group | |
16 | for the daemon by editing the NOBODY_USER and NOBODY_GROUP defines in | |
17 | config.h, or just override them in your /etc/rsyncd.conf file. | |

26c08b6c | 19 | As of 2.4.7, rsync uses Eric Troan's popt option-parsing library. A |
c9bf436e | 20 | cut-down copy of a recent release is included in the rsync distribution, |
3e85237e | 21 | and will be used if there is no popt library on your build host, or if |
26c08b6c | 22 | the --with-included-popt option is passed to ./configure. |

24 | If you configure using --enable-maintainer-mode, then rsync will try |
25 | to pop up an xterm on DISPLAY=:0 if it crashes. You might find this | |
26 | useful, but it should be turned off for production builds. | |

28 | MAKE COMPATIBILITY |
29 | ------------------ | |
30 | ||
31 | Note that Makefile.in has a rule that uses a wildcard in a prerequisite. If | |
32 | your make has a problem with this rule, you will see an error like this: | |
33 | ||
34 | Don't know how to make ./*.c | |
35 | ||
6da6b02b WD |
36 | You can change the "proto.h-tstamp" target in Makefile.in to list all the *.c |
37 | filenames explicitly in order to avoid this issue. | |

39 | RPM NOTES |
40 | --------- | |
41 | ||
42 | Under packaging you will find .spec files for several distributions. | |
3903928c PG |
43 | The .spec file in packaging/lsb can be used for Linux systems that |
44 | adhere to the Linux Standards Base (e.g., RedHat and others). | |

46 | HP-UX NOTES |
47 | ----------- | |
48 | ||
49 | The HP-UX 10.10 "bundled" C compiler seems not to be able to cope with | |
50 | ANSI C. You may see this error message in config.log if ./configure | |
51 | fails: | |
52 | ||
53 | (Bundled) cc: "configure", line 2162: error 1705: Function prototypes are an ANSI feature. | |
54 | ||
55 | Install gcc or HP's "ANSI/C Compiler". | |

57 | MAC OSX NOTES |
58 | ------------- | |

36d8d1a6 WD |
60 | Some versions of Mac OS X (Darwin) seem to have an IPv6 stack, but do |
61 | not completely implement the "New Sockets" API. | |

63 | <http://www.ipv6.org/impl/mac.html> says that Apple started to support |
64 | IPv6 in 10.2 (Jaguar). If your build fails, try again after running | |
65 | configure with --disable-ipv6. | |

67 | IBM AIX NOTES |

70 | IBM AIX has a largefile problem with mkstemp. See IBM PR-51921. |
71 | The workaround is to append the below to config.h | |
72 | #ifdef _LARGE_FILES | |
73 | #undef HAVE_SECURE_MKSTEMP | |
74 | #endif |
