Hi,
I had no success in using Amanda 2.4.4, but 2.4.3 works for me.
To sum up my experiments:
- environment: AIX 4.3.3 ML 11, gcc 2.95.3 and autoconf 2.13, both
installed with filesets from http://bullfreeware.com/
- backup server is Amanda 2.4.2p2 on Linux
- Jon LaBadie helped me (thanks Jon!) to discover autoconf giving wrong
CFLAGS for large file support to configure (-q32 ... -qlonglong)
suitable for IBM's C compiler xlC but not for gcc.
- checked ChangeLog of latest autoconf 2.57 for large file support, no
indication of having fixed this bug
- used selfmade gcc 3.2.1, no difference
- after disabling a line in configure regarding large file support on
AIX [1], I was able to compile Amanda 2.4.4
- but sendsize (Amanda 2.4.4) dumps core in /tmp/amanda while doing
actual backups, gdb's backtrace in [2], I have no clue what's going wrong
- Amanda 2.4.3 with the same hack in configure compiles well and
delivers backups (tested with my super fast backup drive /dev/null ;-) -
a real backup will be done this night)
