#578 Configuration --with-init-style=debian-sysv error with ubuntu 14.04

[gharris999]

Using the latest pull from the git repo, attempting to configure the source for building on Ubuntu 14.04 with:

INITSTYLE='debian-sysv'
TRACKER_VER='0.16'

./configure \
--with-init-style=${INITSTYLE} \
--with-cracklib \
--enable-krbV-uam \
--with-pam-confdir=/etc/pam.d \
--with-dbus-sysconf-dir=/etc/dbus-1/system.d \
--with-tracker-pkgconfig-version=${TRACKER_VER}

..results in:

configure: error: illegal init-style

INITSTYLE='debian'

..still seems to work, but I thought it was deprecated.

Did you run ./bootstrap before configure?

[gharris999]

Yes, I did.

I tested it on Ubuntu 14.04.
no problem.

$ ./bootstrap
$ INITSTYLE='debian-sysv'
$ TRACKER_VER='0.16'
$ ./configure \
--with-init-style=${INITSTYLE} \
--with-cracklib \
--enable-krbV-uam \
--with-pam-confdir=/etc/pam.d \
--with-dbus-sysconf-dir=/etc/dbus-1/system.d \
--with-tracker-pkgconfig-version=${TRACKER_VER}

Using the latest pull from the git repo, ...

Which branch? You need branch-netatalk-3-1, not master!

[gharris999]

Ah. That explains it. Maybe someone could update the wiki/howto for "Install Netatalk 3.1.6 on Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty" to include using a git clone. As it stands, it only references using a tar download.

WHERE I WENT WRONG:

With:

REPO='git://git.code.sf.net/p/netatalk/code'
BRANCH='origin/branch-netatalk-3-1'

git clone --depth=1 "$REPO" netatalk

..the $BRANCH isn't available. E.g.:

cd netatalk
git branch -r

..yields:

origin/HEAD -> origin/master
origin/master

Cloning without --depth-1, git branch -r yields:

origin/HEAD -> origin/master
origin/branch-netatalk-2-0
origin/branch-netatalk-2-1
origin/branch-netatalk-2-2
origin/branch-netatalk-3-0
origin/branch-netatalk-3-1
origin/master

..and a

git checkout "$BRANCH"

..succeeds and the..

./configure --with-init-style=debian-sysv

..works. No config errors and the code builds, installs and runs fine.

I wrote this wiki page for Netatalk "3.1.6".
Netatalk 3.1.6 is tarball.
When using git, you should read the following page.
http://netatalk.sourceforge.net/3.1/htmldocs/installation.html

And you should have executed the following command first.
$ ./configure --help
There is explanation of "--with-init-style".

Anyway, this was operator error on my part. Please close this ticket.
