problem compiling on Debian 6.0.3

[will.w]

Hello,

I pulled MHVTL from github and I am having problems with make install.
Running Debian 6.0.3 2.6.32-5-amd64 #1 SM

make -C etc install USR=vtl
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/me/Downloads/mhvtl-1.1/etc'
install -d -m 755 /etc
install -d -m 755 /etc/init.d
install -m 700 mhvtl /etc/init.d/
test ! -x /sbin/insserv || /sbin/insserv mhvtl
insserv: Service syslog has to be enabled to start service mhvtl
insserv: exiting now!
make[1]: *** [install] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/me/Downloads/mhvtl-1.1/etc'
make: *** [install] Error 2

I have rsyslog running on my system and I want to know if there is a way to get this to install with rsyslog running on the system instead of installing syslog.

Thanks
Will

As luck would have it, I've got a Debian Wheezy (64bit) config.

I didn't look too hard at the 'make' error (it normally does on a Debian/Ubuntu type host).
I target the clean build for SLES / RedHat rather than Debian.

Did the daemons start if you run "/etc/init.d/mhvtl start" ?
Or did you not try that due to the build error msg..

I'll re-produce this (hopefully today) and provide a better answer.

p.s. Anybody with some good Makefile-fu who has suggestions for fixing the Makefile for Debian/Ubuntu, I'm open for patches :)

Cheers
Mark

the pasted log is from me trying to run a make install on a debian 64bit machine

not ideal but under
/mhctl/etc/Makefile

RCFILE = mhvtl
USR ?= vtl
MHVTL_CONFIG_PATH ?= /etc/mhvtl

CONFIG_PATH = $(shell echo $(MHVTL_CONFIG_PATH) | sed -e s'/\//\\\//g')
$(RCFILE): $(RCFILE).in
        sed -e s'/@USR@/$(USR)/' $< > $@.1
        sed -e s'/@CONF_PATH@/$(CONFIG_PATH)/' $@.1 > $@
        rm -f $@.1

.PHONY: rcfile
rcfile: $(RCFILE)

.PHONY: distclean
distclean:
        rm -f $(RCFILE)

.PHONY: clean
clean:
        rm -f $(RCFILE)

.PHONY: install
install:
        install -d -m 755 /etc
        install -d -m 755 /etc/init.d
        install -m 700 $(RCFILE) /etc/init.d/

Bu tthan the 'insserv' won't install the 'mhvtl' rc script correctly..

Currently thinking along the lines of (which doesn't work at the moment) :
$(RCFILE): $(RCFILE).in
        sed -e s'/@USR@/$(USR)/' $< > $@.1
        sed -e s'/@CONF_PATH@/$(CONFIG_PATH)/' $@.1 > $@
        SYSLOG=`test ! -x /usr/bin/dpkg || dpkg --get-selections | awk '/syslog/ {print $1}'`
        sed -i s'/syslog/$(SYSLOG)/' $@
        rm -f $@.1



i.e. If the system has a 'dpkg' command (Debian / Ubuntu etc), then query the version of syslog installed and modify the rc script and replace the
# Required-Start: syslog
with the installed version of syslog... (rsyslog in current version of Debian)..

Ok so I put the line back in, where do I need to drop in the code for the rsyslog?

I just read a thread about storage location, is that function working? I am interested in have the /opt/mhvlt/10 and 20 thing working so I can mount separate file systems.

Thanks

Will

Any chance of testing this patch please..

If no objections, I'll commit once I have a couple of acks/naks.

when I get home, I will fire it up on my system, its a different one but its still debian based, I will update before hand. I got the vtl working on Oracle 5.6 x86_64 going to test it monday,

Dev VM is setup what do you want me to do with the patch?

[Mark Harvey]

This patch should fix the 'make install' error on Debian (or Ubuntu) environments.

If you can apply and test it works for you..

e.g.
cd mhvtl-1.1
patch -p1 < /some/where/the/patch/lives/0001-Fix-make-install-on-Debian-Ubuntu.patch
make distclean
make
make install

And confirm the 'make install' works without error.. (It does for me - tested on Debian Wheeze & Ubuntu)

Many thanks
Mark

Worked, it installed 

path /home/will.w/Download/

$ mkdir mhvtl

$ git init

$ git pull https://github.com/markh794/mhvtl.git

$cd mhvtl

had a personal moment.

$sudo su - 

#apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-$(uname -r)

installed vmware tools

#apt-get install lsscsi sg3-utils

#groupadd vtl

#useradd --system -c "Vitrual Tape Library" -d /opt/vtl -g vtl -m vtl

#cd /home/will.w/Download/mhvtl

#make distclean

#make

#make install

it installed

#service mhvtl start

vtllibrary process PID is 22957

vtllibrary process PID is 22960

#

score, going to install the web-gui later when I get home.

Many thanks for testing..
