Old instructions I had for installing Amanda backup software on OS X Lion

install-amanda-on-osx-lion

- Installed macports
- Installed gettext (sudo port install gettext)
- Installed libiconv
- Installed pkgconfig
- Installed glib2
- Create amanda user using the shell script from the wiki page
- Download and configure amanda with:

./configure \
            --prefix=/Users/amanda/amanda \
            --with-user=amanda \
            --with-group=admin \
            --with-bsdtcp-security \
            --without-server \
            --disable-s3-device \
            --without-restore \
            --with-config=daily

- Patch amanda sources, replace semaphore_t with amanda_semaphore_t
  to avoid namespace conflict with Mach kernel
- Create various paths needed by amanda

        mycomputer:amanda me$ cd /Users/amanda/amanda
        mycomputer:amanda me$ sudo mkdir -p var/amanda/gnutar-lists etc/amanda
        mycomputer:amanda me$ sudo touch var/amanda/amandates
        mycomputer:amanda me$ sudo chown -R amanda:wheel var/amanda etc/amanda
        mycomputer:amanda me$ sudo chmod -R o-rwx var/amanda etc/amanda
