Added RERR_VANISHED.

[rsync/rsync.git] / INSTALL

To build and install rsync

  $ ./configure
  $ make
  # make install

You may set the installation directory and other parameters by options
to ./configure.  To see them, use:

  $ ./configure --help

As of 2.4.7, rsync uses Eric Troan's popt option-parsing library.  A
cut-down copy of release 1.5 is included in the rsync distribution,
and will be used if there is no popt library on your build host, or if
the --with-included-popt option is passed to ./configure.

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


RPM NOTES
---------

Under packaging you will find .spec files for several distributions.
The .spec file in packaging/lsb can be used for Linux systems that
adhere to the Linux Standards Base (e.g., RedHat and others).

HP-UX NOTES
-----------

The HP-UX 10.10 "bundled" C compiler seems not to be able to cope with
ANSI C.  You may see this error message in config.log if ./configure
fails:

  (Bundled) cc: "configure", line 2162: error 1705: Function prototypes are an ANSI feature.

Install gcc or HP's "ANSI/C Compiler".



MAC OSX NOTES
-------------

Mac OS X (Darwin) seems to have an IPv6 stack, but it does not
completely implement the "New Sockets" API.  

<http://www.ipv6.org/impl/mac.html> says that Apple do not support
IPv6 yet.  If your build fails, try again with --disable-ipv6.

There is an unresolved problem with the OSX implimentation
of setgroups causing rsyncd to fail.  The workaround is to
#undef HAVE_SETGROUPS in config.h

IBM AIX NOTES
-------------

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