Hello! Add me to the list. I'm also running potato; i've not managed to compile SAPDB on it, but the binary packages worked out well so far. I remember that i had to set a symlink to libstdc++ somewhere but i'm currently not in front of my debian box :).
I also would like to help out with debian packages. If interested, please contact me at my personal email adress (set as reply-to). bye Peter > -----Original Message----- > From: Fabian Moerchen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Thursday, February 07, 2002 4:55 PM > To: Derek Neighbors > Cc: Mark Wong; SAPDB General List > Subject: Re: Help getting SAP DB running on Debian 2.2 (potato) > > > Bernd Eckenfels is currently working on a debian package and i offered > to help and test since i have some experience in setting it up on > debian. i wrote a little howto (www.mybytes.de/sapdb) that includes > adminitration and startup scripts. > > personally, i don't think sapdb is hard to administer once > you know the > basic commands. i also got 7.3.0.20 installed and working without any > trouble on potato. > > the main problem with an official deb package seems to be the unusual > build environment. there are plans to change that though. btw. how > 'free' is it at the moment? > > but even an unofficial binary debian package would be a great for a > start, again i'd be willing to help. > > bye > fabian > > On Thu, 2002-02-07 at 22:47, Derek Neighbors wrote: > > Furthermore, has anyone from SAP or elsewhere considered > getting SAP DB > > deb > > packages made and put in unstable?
