| | 1 | To build and install rsync: |
| | 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 |
| | 11 | |
| | 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. |
| | 18 | |
| | 19 | As of 2.4.7, rsync uses Eric Troan's popt option-parsing library. A |
| | 20 | cut-down copy of a recent release is included in the rsync distribution, |
| | 21 | and will be used if there is no popt library on your build host, or if |
| | 22 | the --with-included-popt option is passed to ./configure. |
| | 23 | |
| | 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. |
| | 27 | |
| | 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 | |
| | 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. |
| | 38 | |
| | 39 | RPM NOTES |
| | 40 | --------- |
| | 41 | |
| | 42 | Under packaging you will find .spec files for several distributions. |
| | 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). |
| | 45 | |
| | 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". |
| | 56 | |
| | 57 | MAC OSX NOTES |
| | 58 | ------------- |
| | 59 | |
| | 60 | Some versions of Mac OS X (Darwin) seem to have an IPv6 stack, but do |
| | 61 | not completely implement the "New Sockets" API. |
| | 62 | |
| | 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. |
| | 66 | |
| | 67 | IBM AIX NOTES |
| | 68 | ------------- |
| | 69 | |
| | 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 |
