Hi all, have anyone tried to install BackupPC on a Widows box ? I mean nothing is said about it in the docs, nothing found in devel or user archives, so I tried ... I tried and failed !!!
So far, I've found the next problems : - no support from configure.pl : expects '/' at the beginning for absolute paths, no way if '/C:' or '/cygdrive/c' is used (cygwin is installed) and configure.pl run from "Command Prompt" or "bash" from Cygwin - Apache support is needed : no problem, Apache 2.0 is available for Windows (although many "Windows compatible admins" prefer IIS) - No bzip2, cat or utility programs found : even when run from bash (remember, cygwin installed !!). Looking at FindProgram() in configure.pl it should find for cat.exe, bzip2.exe, etc. and it's not doing it :-P - Unimplemented getpwnam: obviously the user database is not in the /etc/passwd style and getpwnam() for searching users is not implemented (the error : "The getpwnam function is unimplemented at configure.pl line 255, <STDIN> line 4") I gave up :-P. OK, I didn't went further but my suspicion is that __even__ if I install it manually (following the code in configure.pl and making some tweaks) I'll end with similar problems in the files at bin/ and cgi-bin/ in BackupPC distribution. Any thoughts ?? ideas ?? takers ?? Thanks for all your help. -- Víctor A.
