Re: irix 6.5 install help
Hi, * Sung, Raymond CW [EMAIL PROTECTED] [20060627 10:40]: Dear Amanda Users, I'm new to using makefiles and I need to install the client part of Amanda on an IRIX 6.5 machine. I was away all week last week so I'll jump in even though this thread seems to be dead. I have an irix box (O3800) setup as an amanda server and a few other clients (irix and linux/debian) and for the irix side of things I don't see any advantages of compiling 64bits. I use the ABI n32 (/etc/compiler.defaults contains '-DEFAULT:abi=n32:isa=mips4:proc=r10k') and never had any problems configuring and compiling amanda using the irix native C compiler, though I haven't had a go at amanda 2.5.x I use something of the sort: (that's for a STK L80 tape library and amanda 2.4.5 and is site-specific so ymmv) ./configure \ --prefix=/opt/amanda/amanda1\ --with-user=amanda \ --with-group=sys\ --with-config=stk-conf1 \ --with-tape-device=/hw/tape/tps11d1nrnsv\ --with-changer-device=/dev/changer \ --with-gnutar=/usr/freeware/bin/tar \ --with-tape-server=bullcalf \ --with-index-server=bullcalf\ --with-includes=/usr/freeware/include \ --with-libraries=/usr/freeware/lib32 Make sure the user amanda exists before installing. /dev/changer point to the real scsi device of the library: /dev/changer - /hw/scsi/sc11d9l0 Check your version of tar. tar (GNU tar) 1.13.25 works for me. I have a mix of DLEs with xfsdump and gnutar. works fine. HTH jf Unfortately I'm getting compilation errors saying the stdint.h header is to be only used for c99 mode compilation and then the last error message is don't know how to make amanda.conf.5 What flags/options should I be using when running the ./configure command. These are the current ones I'm using: CC=cc, CFLAGS=-64, LDFLAGS=-64. I've tried compiling with and without 64-bit library compilation. I'm using the latest version of Amanda. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Raymond. --

Re: irix 6.5 install help
Raymond, I don't recompile all that often but will help as I can. What version of IRIX ? What architecture system ? ie you may find that O2 systems do not have 64 bit libraries installed. Since amanda is largely a driver, organizer, doesn't do a lot of computational work on its own, you may be able to get away with 32 bit compilation without any measurable loss of performance, its really the xfsdump, tar, gzip that eat the cpu up, not amanda itself. What options did you feed the the # configure utility ?

RE: irix 6.5 install help
Title: RE: irix 6.5 install help Hi Brian, Thanks for replying. I'm using IRIX 6.5.27 on an ONYX 4 visualisation system and I've recently successfully compiled the GNU Scientific Library using the 64-bit libraries. As you have suggested I don't think it really matters if I use 32 or 64 bit. The options I gave the configure command are --with-user=USER --with-group=GROUP --without-server I also had CC=cc at the beginning. Totally beginner question: Do I want to build static or shared libraries?
