Hi,
I have been busy with updating some OpenSUSE packages in the last days,
as OpenSUSE 11.1 has been released last week. Unfortunately, building
Bacula was not hassle-free.
Bacula's "configure" has a manually coded section for python handling.
This section is not able to detect or link against the python
installation in OpenSUSE 11.1 for two reasons:
configure looks for python versions 2.2 thru 2.5. OpenSUSE 11.1 brings
python 2.6 as well as a beta of python 3.0.
a) The include path is not detected correctly (as python 2.6 is not
checked)
b) The library that bacula tries to link is "python"; OpenSUSE ships the
lib as "python2.6".
Disclaimer: I am neither a autoconf nor a python expert, so my fixes for
these problems may well be wrong.
a) is easily fixable by adding "python2.6" for the $ver variable that
configure checks.
b) python brings a "python-config" program that provides a "--includes"
as well as a "--libs" argument. If configure can find python-config,
it should use its results.
Patch (for trunk's configure.in only; my autoconf is a different version
than yours, so please rebuild configure yourself :) attached. I have
NOT tested whether python support still works, but at least bacula
compiles well with the patch applied. As said, I am neither a Python
nor a autoconf expert, so you may want to regard the patch as a proof
of concept :)
Best regards and season's greetings
Bastian
