Once I figured out the appropriate configure options, it was a snap.

./configure \
--enable-smartalloc \
--sbindir=/usr/sbin \
--with-pid-dir=/var/run \
--with-subsys-dir=/var/run/subsys \
--with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql \
--with-working-dir=/etc/bacula/working \
--with-dir-password=  \
--with-sd-password= \
--with-fd-password= \
[EMAIL PROTECTED] \
--with-smtp-host=server.domain.com \
--with-baseport=9101

You'll need Developer Tools installed (it's on the CD that ships with the unit or retail OS box) in order to compile.

Bacula expects certain directories to exist that don't prior to compiling. It's in the documentation, just not real obvious.

From the project documentation...
"Note, Bacula assumes that /var/bacula, /var/run, and /var/loc/subsys exist so it will not automatically create them during the install process."

Let me know if you want the pre compiled FD.

Bill,

I've built the FD from source on 10.4.x with the 1.3.5 version and
have run it continuously with no issues. You are welcome to the
executable if you'd like - though you'll need to noodle through the
docs as there are a few working directories that need to be manually
created - no installer.

With regards to the Fink comment in the prior post, I'd agree - don't
bother!

How difficult was it to compile from source? I may take you up on that
offer of a binary.

I've been deploying Bacula here for a few weeks now. All servers are
being backed up from three locations.  Very nice.

Now it's time to start on the mobile machines.  The one that has me
concerned is the one Macintosh laptop that we have.

Anyone running a Bacula FD on a Macintosh?  Is it stable/reliable?
Of course, couple that with the challenge of backing up a laptop
and the whole thing is likely to be challenging.  I'm interested
to hear any an all stories and follow any and all links regarding
using Bacula FD on a Mac, and/or laptop.  Google was not terribly
helpful, but I may not have been crafting the best search strings.

TIA for any information.
