[Box Backup] Could do with some advice on getting Boxbackup compiled ....

[boxbackup@fluffy.co.uk]

Hello Martin,

It's in the installation script
parcels/boxbackup-0.10-backup-client-linux-gnu/install-backup-client

Under normal circumstances (i.e. installation into /usr/local) the script will work
because all the directories exist.  However, because I specified a non-standard
location for the BB executables, the script doesn't work.  There are two solutions ...
A) Create the required directory BEFORE running 'make install-backup-client' with
mkdir -p /usr/local/boxbackup-0.10/bin  OR
B) Modify parcels/boxbackup-0.10-backup-client-linux-gnu/install-backup-client
 to include the following line just after the #!/bin/bash line ...

install -d /usr/local/boxbackup-0.10/bin

Looks like a configuration problem.

Regards,

Dave
