Hi Greg, you are right. Bareos has switched from autoconf (configure, ...) to cmake in master, and this is not yet documented in the developer documentation.
The best way to get the settings used by the Bareos project itself is to look into the package building files, e.g. https://github.com/bareos/bareos/blob/master/platforms/packaging/bareos.spec or https://github.com/bareos/bareos/blob/master/debian/rules In bareos.spec you see that we use following command to compile Bareos: # create temporary file in this subdirectory CMAKE_BUILDDIR=cmake-build mkdir ${CMAKE_BUILDDIR} pushd ${CMAKE_BUILDDIR} cmake .. \ -DCMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE=ON \ -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=/usr \ -DCMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR:PATH=/usr/lib \ -DINCLUDE_INSTALL_DIR:PATH=/usr/include \ -DLIB_INSTALL_DIR:PATH=/usr/lib \ -DSYSCONF_INSTALL_DIR:PATH=/etc \ -DSHARE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=/usr/share \ -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS:BOOL=ON \ -Dprefix=%{_prefix}\ -Dlibdir=%{library_dir} \ -Dsbindir=%{_sbindir} \ -Dsbin-perm=755 \ -Dsysconfdir=%{_sysconfdir} \ -Dconfdir=%{_sysconfdir}/bareos \ -Dmandir=%{_mandir} \ -Ddocdir=%{_docdir}/%{name} \ -Dhtmldir=%{_docdir}/%{name}/html \ -Darchivedir=/var/lib/%{name}/storage \ -Dbackenddir=%{backend_dir} \ -Dscriptdir=%{script_dir} \ -Dworking-dir=%{working_dir} \ -Dplugindir=%{plugin_dir} \ -Dpid-dir=%{pid_dir} \ -Dbsrdir=%{bsr_dir} \ -Dlogdir=/var/log/bareos \ -Dsubsys-dir=%{_subsysdir} \ -Dpython=yes \ -Dsmartalloc=yes \ -Ddisable-conio=yes \ -Dreadline=yes \ -Dbatch-insert=yes \ -Ddynamic-cats-backends=yes \ -Ddynamic-storage-backends=yes \ -Dscsi-crypto=yes \ -Dlmdb=yes \ -Dndmp=yes \ -Dipv6=yes \ -Dacl=yes \ -Dxattr=yes \ -Dtraymonitor=yes \ -Dpostgresql=yes \ -Dmysql=yes \ -Dsqlite3=yes \ -Dtcp-wrappers=yes \ -Ddir-user=%{director_daemon_user} \ -Ddir-group=%{daemon_group} \ -Dsd-user=%{storage_daemon_user} \ -Dsd-group=%{storage_daemon_group} \ -Dfd-user=%{file_daemon_user} \ -Dfd-group=%{daemon_group} \ -Ddir-password="XXX_REPLACE_WITH_DIRECTOR_PASSWORD_XXX" \ -Dfd-password="XXX_REPLACE_WITH_CLIENT_PASSWORD_XXX" \ -Dsd-password="XXX_REPLACE_WITH_STORAGE_PASSWORD_XXX" \ -Dmon-dir-password="XXX_REPLACE_WITH_DIRECTOR_MONITOR_PASSWORD_XXX" \ -Dmon-fd-password="XXX_REPLACE_WITH_CLIENT_MONITOR_PASSWORD_XXX" \ -Dmon-sd-password="XXX_REPLACE_WITH_STORAGE_MONITOR_PASSWORD_XXX" \ -Dopenssl=yes \ -Dbasename="XXX_REPLACE_WITH_LOCAL_HOSTNAME_XXX" \ -Dhostname="XXX_REPLACE_WITH_LOCAL_HOSTNAME_XXX" \ -Dsystemd=yes \ -Dincludes=yes make DESTDIR=%{buildroot} All the ${...} defines are set the the RPM build system and must be adapted to your environment (or removed to take the default). However, as you plan to use this system in production I would recommend to use the latest stable release (17.2.x) or branch (bareos-17.2) instead of master. And 17.2 as well as all predecessors still use autoconf. regards, Jörg On 18.03.2018 at 22:43 wrote Greg: > Hi, This is my first post, so bear with me. > > I am NOT a programmer but I want to compile bareos client only (file > daemon) onto my firewall which is called ipfire as it has a bacula > client that works with bareos but this was upgraded and now it is not > compatible anymore. > > I have downloaded the bareos source files and I cannot find any > documentation on how to compile from source.
