All,
After all the recent emails from people running 'make install' without
running 'make' I had a look at the relevent section of the manual.
For those who like to read along, the link is:
http://www.bacula.org/rel-manual/Installing_Bacula.html#SECTION000106000000000000000
Point 9 in the Compiling Bacula from Source section reads:
-------------------------
9. make If you get errors while linking in the Storage daemon directory
(src/stored), it is probably because you have not loaded the static
libraries on your system. I noticed this problem on a Solaris system. To
correct it, make sure that you have not added --enable-static-tools to
the ./configure command.
-------------------------
The word 'make' appears on the same line as the rest of the text and can
easily be overlooked (I did when I first scanned down the commands and I
was looking for it!)
I'd suggest changing it so it reads like:
-------------------------
9. make
Note: If you get errors while linking in the Storage daemon directory
(src/stored), it is probably because you have not loaded the static
libraries on your system. I noticed this problem on a Solaris system. To
correct it, make sure that you have not added --enable-static-tools to
the ./configure command.
-------------------------
This makes the make command stand out more, and it will hopefully not be
overlooked as often.
If you really want to emphasis it, you could add the following after
step 10 (make install):
-------------------------
Note: if you get errors about missing libbac.a files at this stage you
probably missed step 9. Go back and run it now!
