With some searching I found a reply from Phil Stracchino on a similar
question back in 2011 and the following was the communication:-

/Yes, if you lounch ./configure --help you can see that using/
/--disable-build-dird --without-mysql you should compile only the storage/
/deamon./
/Anyway, I'have not try this on my installations./
Actually, this is not correct. You still need to specify the correct
catalog DB engine when building only the storage daemon, because the
storage daemon includes the storage daemon tools - btape, bscan etc -
and some of those tools (bscan in particular) need to be able to access
the catalog database directly without going through the Director.

So this looks like you have to have one of the databases even if it is
only the SD.

Only thing I can think of is that when you specify
--disable-build-dird then you maybe have to explicitly specify
--enable-build-stored though not really sure that is an actual
requirement because it is supposed to be the default.

Whoops, just seen that you already had that command in your config
file so then I don't understand why it still expected you to have a
database selected. Will think further on it.

As you have not specified -enable-client-only then the default is to
build both the SD and Director and then you need a database. So you
need to disable the Director with the config option -disable-build-dir.
This should hopefully solve your problem.

Thank you for the advice, Tilman! I tried to configure just the SD
on the storage server by using this command:
CFLAGS="-g -Wall" ./configure --sysconfdir=/etc/bacula
--with-scriptdir=/etc/bacula --enable-smartalloc
--with-working-dir=/var/bacula --with-pid-dir=/var/run
--enable-readline --disable-build-dird
However, it says:
You have not specified either --enable-client-only or one of the
supported databases: MySQL, PostgreSQL, or SQLite3.
This is not permitted. Please reconfigure.
Can't say much about ./configure.
I'm using the pre-build packages, not compiling from source.
The bacula-storage package I use doesn't require a database.
Do I need to install MySQL and use --with-mysql even if I only
want the SD?
You shouldn't have to. But perhaps the configure script needs some
special incantation to build only the storage daemon.
