Netatalk 3.0 beta installation procedure (Ubuntu 12.04)

gistfile1.md

Install prerequisites:

$ sudo apt-get install build-essential pkg-config checkinstall git-core avahi-daemon libavahi-client-dev

Download src:

$ cd /usr/local/src
$ git clone git://netatalk.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/netatalk/netatalk
$ cd netatalk
$ ./bootstrap

Find current version of Berkeley DB available

$ apt-cache search libdb

Mine was 5.1, so I'll install that

$ sudo apt-get install libdb5.1-dev db-util db5.1-util

Same for libgcrypt:

$ apt-cache search libgcrypt
$ sudo apt-get install libgcrypt11 libgcrypt11-dev

Configure install

$ ./configure --with-init-style=debian --with-zeroconf

Build!

$ make
$ sudo checkinstall

Config is in /usr/local/etc/afp.conf

Thanks for this. I also had to install the automake and libtool packages for the bootstrap script to run successfully.

sudo apt-get install autotools-dev automake libtool - need to

Works on Debian too however I did have to do:
$ ./configure --with-init-style=debian --with-zeroconf --enable-debian
$ mkdir -p /usr/local/lib/netatalk/
Because ranlib complained it couldn't write that dir.

And finally after installing do
$ ldconfig

Thanks ! And for the Debian tips too :)

Awesome, thanks! Make sure you type "3.0" for the version number when building the package.

This doesn't seem to be working for me. I've installed all the mentioned packages except for db-util, which I apt-get didn't find. Im running Ubuntu 12.04 but still I get "Building Debian package... FAILED!" at the end.

Here are the commands I used and their outputs:

sudo ./bootstrap

./configure --with-init-style=debian --with-zeroconf
http://tny.cz/c72a272e

sudo ./configure --with-init-style=debian --with-zeroconf
http://tny.cz/959e07d4

sudo make
http://tny.cz/dcd093a0

sudo checkinstall
http://tny.cz/f8a32d02

I also tried with the --enable-debian option without luck. I'm kinda stuck here, really can't see anything in the logs to point me to where it's failing to build. Anyone care to take a look? :)

Doing crw's trick with the version seemed to fix my problems! :)
