[Box Backup] backupbox on MacOS X

[Nikita Borisov]

I'm trying to install a boxbackup storage server on my MacOS 10.4 box.
 Initially, I had trouble compiling boxbackup, but after a small patch
to BoxPlatform.h (below) I got it to build.  However, when I ran the
unit tests, I got a number of failures, so something is wrong.  Here
are the errors I got:

% ./runtest.pl ALL | grep FAIL
IMPLICIT TEST FAILED: Something left files open
FAILED: 1 tests failed
FAILURE: Condition [foundCurrent] failed at testbackupstore.cpp(1354)
FAILURE: Condition [foundOld] failed at testbackupstore.cpp(1355)
IMPLICIT TEST FAILED: Something left files open
FAILED: 3 tests failed
IMPLICIT TEST FAILED: Something left files open

FAILED: 1 tests failed
basicserver: FAILED: 1 tests failed
backupstore: FAILED: 3 tests failed
backupstorepatch: FAILED: 1 tests failed
bbackupd: FAILED: 1 tests failed
%

I'm guessing the files left open isn't a very big deal, but the two
failures in the backupstore have me worried.  Any suggestions for
figuring out what's wrong?  I have the complete test output file up
at:

PS. Here's the BoxPlatform patch I had to use:
