...Or, Bacula is getting about as portable as the Great Wall of China.
Trying to build Bacula on Solaris 11.3 x64, attempted using both the
Solaris Compiler Suite (now known as Developer Studio) and GCC 7.3.0.
TL;DR - it doesn't build, because of stupidity(TM).
So, I have a chance to upgrade my Bacula infrastructure, and move the
tape loader onto honking great big box with 100+Gb of RAM and stuff, so
I thinks, "I'll switch to PostgreSQL, and in the same step, update from
7.0.5 to 9.0.6".
Pull the new version down, set up configure, thusly (Yes, I know
--disable-libtool is a noop now, that's just another stupidity(TM)):
$
PATH=/opt/postgres/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/opt/solarisstudio12.4/bin:/opt/sfw/bin:/usr/ccs/bin:/opt/local/bin:/usr/openwin/bin:.

Not a problem, all looks copacetic.

Sigh, that's just an annoyance, but as I learnt my C back when K&R
Edition 1 was the bible, it niggles me, so I fixes it, just removing the
unneeded , before the }.
So, onwards.

Now *that's* useful, not. Looks like someone is trying to build a
shared object with the wrong extension, using the linker. Oh, and they
think the linker is the GNU linker. No, it isn't, and way back in the
configure process it worked that out.
Just for fun, I removed the "-rpath /opt/bacula/lib -release 9.0.6" and
tried again...

Ha, expletive deleted, ha.
The Makefile did *not* generate any .lo files. Why? Because the .c.lo
dependecy doesn't have "-o $@" in it. Sad.
Fix the .c.lo dependency, and try again.

That was a waste of CPU cycles, wasn't it?
But, let's compound things, and try it using GCC!
No prizes for guessing that it fails in the same way.
So, just for kicks I thought I would try on an OpenSUSE system that I
keep just to point that "portable" doesn't mean "It builds on both
Ubuntu and Fedora." Surely it *must* build on that???

No. It doesn't.
So I tried 9.0.5 on the OpenSUSE box, it doesn't build because it's
missing sys/acl.h.
Try 9.0.5 on Solaris, same stupid attempt to create a shared object,
with the wrong extension, same stupid missing "-o $@" in the .c.lo
dependency.
Try 9.0.4, (why not, it's beginning to look like I will stay with 7.0.5,
at least that builds on my machines), nope.
I'm giving up.
No, that's a lie, I really gave up when 9.0.6 and 9.0.5 failed to build
on OpenSUSE, if Bacula doesn't build on a common Linux system how can I
expect it to build on UNIX systems?
I have raised Mantis bugs: 2371, 2372, 2373, and 2374 covering these
items.
Meanwhile, I shall go and have a Bex, a good strong cup of tea, and a
lie down :-)
Cheers,
Gary B-)
